Appending () is language-specific and can mislead for TypeScript,
Obj-C, etc. The kind suffix (— function, — class, etc.) already
communicates the symbol type clearly.
Without this, the code_intelligence category in the telemetry defaults
map had no effect — captureToolUsage doesn't check per-category gating.
Now telemetry is only emitted when the category is enabled, matching the
pattern used by browser, checkpoints, skills, focus_chain, and subagents.
- Move consecutiveMistakeCount reset after parseQueries validation so
empty-but-present queries (only comments/whitespace) correctly
increment the mistake counter instead of silently resetting it
- Move say() call after query parsing so no dangling tool-start UI
message appears when queries are invalid
- Only append () to callable symbol kinds (function, method, constructor)
instead of unconditionally on all symbols, preventing misleading
output like MyClass() or MY_CONSTANT()
Use toPosix() to normalize Windows backslash paths before splitting
in shortenPath(), ensuring consistent display on all platforms (Windows
JetBrains included).
- Add codeIntelligenceEnabled setting to state-keys, proto, and updateSettings
- Gate code_intelligence tool behind codeIntelligenceAvailable context flag
- Add settings toggle in Experimental section, only visible when PSI available
- Wire codeIntelligenceEnabled/Available through Controller -> webview state
- Add telemetry capture for code-intelligence tool usage
- Add CodeIntelligenceToolHandler unit tests (9 tests)
- Add code-intelligence context variation to system prompt integration tests
- Generate 12 new snapshots for code-intelligence across all model families
JetBrains IDEs use JCEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) for webviews,
which often does not include H.264 decoding due to licensing
restrictions. This causes the kanban demo video to fail to play.
Transcode the video from H.264/MP4 to VP9/WebM, which is a royalty-free
codec universally supported in Chromium derivatives. This also reduces
the file size from 3.6MB to ~900KB.
Updated all references:
- Source component import (ClineKanbanLaunchModal.tsx)
- Git LFS tracking (.gitattributes)
- CI workflow LFS checks (publish.yml, publish-nightly.yml)
The migration announcement didn't explain what Kanban is. Swap the
"run cline --tui" line for a one-liner describing the product so users
know what they're opting into. The --tui escape hatch is still
discoverable via the Exit menu item.
* refactor: replace hand-rolled YAML parser in refreshSkills with shared helper
The refreshSkills controller had its own line-by-line YAML parser that
only handled simple key: value pairs. Replace it with the shared
parseYamlFrontmatter helper already used by the skills discovery path.
Same output for name and description fields. The shared parser handles
edge cases (arrays, nested values, quoted colons) more robustly.
* refactor: inline parseYamlFrontmatter, remove redundant wrapper
Remove the parseFrontmatter wrapper since only `data` is used by
the caller. Inline the call directly at the use site.

The Kanban launch-by-default feature (beb54a4) redirects bare `cline`
invocations to Kanban, which blocks all TUI tests that launch without
`--tui`. Adding the flag ensures tests reach the legacy TUI as expected.
* feat(cli): refresh welcome banner and kanban launcher
* feat(cli): launch kanban by default with migration view
* feat(cli): add kanban process lifecycle management
Detach the kanban child process on Unix so it gets its own process
group, forward signals to the group for graceful shutdown, and fall
back to SIGKILL after a 10s timeout. Resolves exit codes from signals
correctly (130 for SIGINT, 143 for SIGTERM).
* feat: add repeated tool call loop detection
Detect when the LLM calls the same tool with identical arguments
repeatedly, which wastes tokens without making progress. This is
the #1 active complaint in the Cline issue tracker (13+ open issues
including #9923, #9916, #9846, #9816).
Two-stage escalation:
- Stage 1 (3 identical calls): inject a warning nudging the LLM
to try a different approach
- Stage 2 (5 identical calls): trigger the existing
consecutiveMistakeCount escalation (asks user or fails in YOLO)
Detection uses JSON.stringify with a sorted key replacer for
deterministic comparison. Metadata params like task_progress
(which change every call even when actual tool arguments are
identical) are stripped from the comparison.
Complementary to fileReadCache, which deduplicates file content but
still allows the tool call to succeed and consume a turn. Loop
detection catches the repeated call pattern itself.
Changes:
- loop-detection.ts: shared helper (toolCallSignature, checkRepeatedToolCall)
- TaskState.ts: add lastToolParams, consecutiveIdenticalToolCount
- ToolExecutor.ts: call checkRepeatedToolCall in handleCompleteBlock
- responses.ts: add formatResponse.repeatedToolCall
- loop-detection.test.ts: 5 tests
Manually verified: CLI test confirms soft warning at call 3,
YOLO mode failure at call 5.
Refs: #9923, #9916, #9846, #9816
* fix: address review feedback on loop detection
- Change hardEscalation threshold from >= to === so it fires exactly
once at count 5, matching softWarning behavior
- Widen toolCallSignature param type to Partial<Record<string, string>>
to match actual block.params type from ToolExecutor
- Add negative boundary assertions to verify no false positives at
calls 0, 1, 3, 4

* fix: reset loop detection state when user continues after mistake_limit_reached
When hard escalation fired at count === 5 and the user clicked
"continue", consecutiveIdenticalToolCount was never reset. The count
would exceed 5 but === 5 never matched again, silently disabling
loop detection for the rest of the task.
Reset consecutiveIdenticalToolCount, lastToolName, and lastToolParams
alongside the existing consecutiveMistakeCount reset so the detector
fully re-arms after the user continues.

* fix: prevent OOM crash from globby's eager .gitignore scanning in listFiles
Replace globby's gitignore:true (which reads ALL .gitignore files in the
entire tree upfront, including inside gitignored directories) with
incremental .gitignore reading during BFS traversal.
In projects with large gitignored vendored dependencies containing many
nested repos, globby collects thousands of patterns, builds a massive
regex, and V8 runs out of memory during regex compilation (~488MB).
The fix reads .gitignore files only from directories the BFS actually
enters. Gitignored directories are never entered, so their .gitignore
files are never parsed and the pattern count stays small.
- Set gitignore:false, handle .gitignore ourselves
- Read root .gitignore in buildIgnorePatterns() to seed initial patterns
- Read subdirectory .gitignore lazily during globbyLevelByLevel BFS
- Accumulate patterns in currentIgnore so deeper levels respect them
- Add 4 tests: root patterns, file patterns, subdirectory .gitignore,
and OOM-prevention (no reading inside gitignored dirs)

The presentation scheduler introduced in ff05ec3bb awaits in-flight
flushes during dispose(), but ask() blocks indefinitely on pWaitFor
waiting for user input. When abortTask() sets abort=true and then
awaits scheduler.dispose(), the in-flight flush (blocked on
ask("completion_result")) never resolves, deadlocking the UI.
Add abort flag check to ask()'s pWaitFor condition so blocked asks
unblock immediately when the task is aborted.

* chore(cli): bump version to 2.8.2 and update changelog
* Implement minimal change set for latency improvements
Cline's code review improvements
Further code review improvements
* fix: address code review issues for presentation scheduler
- Add reset() method to TaskPresentationScheduler to prevent stale
timer leaks between API request retries within the same task
- Call presentationScheduler.reset() in streaming state reset section
- Fix hadVisibleAssistantContent to track reasoning content, not just
text, preventing every reasoning chunk from getting immediate priority
- Remove unused 'low' priority from PresentationPriority type and
associated cadence configuration (YAGNI)
- Trim TaskLatencyTrigger to only values actually used: text/reasoning/tool
- Add JSDoc to isRemoteWorkspaceEnvironment documenting the heuristic
fallback and its false-positive risk
- Add Logger.warn for invalid cadence env-var overrides
- Add comment at scheduler construction explaining detection promise
dependency on remoteWorkspaceDetectionPromise
- Add comments to CLI host bridge about intentional remoteName omission
- Expand test coverage: reset(), coalescing, priority upgrade tests
* fix: address code review issues in latency/presentation scheduler
- Fix #1/#3: Set didPresentAnyContent=true for text and tool_calls chunks
so coalescing actually activates for text-only and tool streams (was
only set for reasoning chunks, defeating the 40/90ms cadence goal)
- Fix#2: Re-check flushInProgress after awaiting in-flight flush in
runFlushCycle to prevent two concurrent callers from both proceeding
past the guard and starting concurrent flushes
- Fix#4: Document flushNow() disposed no-op contract so callers
understand the finalization guarantee
- Fix#5: Add disposed guard to reset() to prevent post-dispose state
mutation
- Fix#6: Remove platform/version heuristic from isRemoteWorkspaceEnvironment
— only use remoteName. The substring match on 'remote' produced false
positives for version strings like '1.0.0-remote-fix'. Non-VSCode hosts
should populate remoteName explicitly to opt in to the higher cadence.
- Fix#7: Add remoteWorkspaceDetectionSettled flag and warn if getDelayMs
is called before detection resolves, making the timing dependency
explicit and detectable in production logs
- Fix#8: Upgrade disabled-scheduler bypass error from Logger.debug to
Logger.warn so silent flush failures are visible
- Update latency.test.ts: replace heuristic test with false-positive
regression tests and add null/empty-field coverage
* fix: address code review issues in latency/presentation scheduler
- Fix flushNow race condition: wait for all in-flight flushes to drain
before setting pendingPriority so the post-flush continuation cannot
steal it, guaranteeing at least one flush runs after flushNow() returns
- Add regression test for the flushNow race condition
- Fix disabled-path (CLINE_DISABLE_PRESENTATION_SCHEDULER): use
presentationScheduler.flushNow() instead of a fire-and-forget void
call so the presentAssistantMessage lock/pending-updates mechanism
is respected when the scheduler is bypassed
- Rename didPresentAnyContent -> didScheduleAnyContent to accurately
reflect that content has been scheduled, not necessarily flushed
- Update stale comment in streaming loop to match new variable semantics
- Upgrade remote workspace detection failure log level from debug to warn
- Document reset() interaction with in-flight flush on already-reset state
- Document empty-string remoteName edge case in getHostVersion.ts
* refactor: polish presentation scheduler for production readiness
- Extract PresentationPriority type to shared presentation-types.ts,
breaking the latency.ts → TaskPresentationScheduler.ts type coupling
- Remove redundant pendingWhileFlushing flag from TaskPresentationScheduler;
pendingPriority alone is sufficient for the post-flush continuation check
- Cache env var reads in latency.ts at module load (hot path optimization)
- Inline flushAssistantPresentation() one-liner into the scheduler constructor
- Make processNativeToolCalls protected to enable type-safe test access
- Remove as any cast in Task.processNativeToolCalls.test.ts

* feat: add file read deduplication cache to prevent repeated reads
- Add fileReadCache to TaskState for tracking read files per task
- ReadFileToolHandler checks cache before reading, returns cached content on repeat reads
- Warns model after 3+ reads of same file to stop re-reading
- WriteToFileToolHandler and ApplyPatchHandler invalidate cache on file changes

* PR changes
- __`TaskState.ts`__ — Simplified cache type from `{ content: string; readCount: number; imageBlock? }` to `{ readCount: number; mtime: number; imageBlock? }`. Dropped `content` to save memory; added `mtime` for external change detection.
- __`ReadFileToolHandler.ts`__ — Four improvements:
- __Removed redundant `.set()` call__ — reviewer was correct that objects are modified by reference in Map
- __Added mtime-based cache validation__ — on cache hit, `stat()` the file and compare mtime. If the file was modified externally (user edited in their editor), the cache entry is evicted and a fresh read occurs
- __Dropped content from cache__ — cache now only stores metadata (readCount, mtime, imageBlock). On cache hits, the file is re-read from disk, addressing memory concerns
- __Softened readCount >= 3 warning__ — removed the aggressive "Do NOT read this file again" language; now says "Please use the information you already have and proceed with your task"

llama.cpp's STB image library doesn't support WebP format. Users running
GLM 4.6V, GLM 4.5, and Devstral models via llama.cpp server (openai-compatible
endpoint) were hitting a 400 error when using the browser tool because Cline
sends screenshots as WebP by default.
modelDoesntSupportWebp() only checked for Grok models. Extend it to also
cover GLM and Devstral model families using the existing family detection
functions. Also update isGLMModelFamily() to handle space-separated model IDs

* fix: catch errors in path-based tool handlers instead of crashing
ListCodeDefinitionNamesToolHandler, ListFilesToolHandler, and
SearchFilesToolHandler let exceptions from their core operations
propagate through ToolExecutor's re-throw path, crashing the CLI
process. This is the same class of bug fixed for ReadFileToolHandler
in #9730.
Changes per handler:
- Wrap the core operation in try/catch, returning formatResponse.toolError()
on failure so the model can see the error and recover gracefully.
- Move consecutiveMistakeCount reset to after a successful operation so
repeated failures accumulate toward the yolo-mode mistake limit.
- Increment consecutiveMistakeCount on caught errors.
Add end-to-end tests exercising each handler with a mock TaskConfig,
covering: non-existent paths, missing parameters, failure accumulation,
and success-based counter reset.
* address review: expand try/catch scope, add stub-based tests
- Include resolveWorkspacePath inside try/catch in
ListCodeDefinitionNamesToolHandler and ListFilesToolHandler (matching
SearchFilesToolHandler's pattern) so path resolution failures are
also caught gracefully.
- Fix trivially-true assertion in file-not-a-directory test.
- Add 6 new stub-based tests that force core operations to throw:
parseSourceCodeForDefinitionsTopLevel, listFiles, and
determineSearchPaths — verifying the catch paths return
formatResponse.toolError() and increment consecutiveMistakeCount.
- Total: 19 passing tests (up from 13).
* address review: move clineignore check before IO in ListFilesToolHandler
Move the .clineignore access validation before resolveWorkspacePath and
listFiles so blocked paths are rejected without incurring IO cost.
Also ensures consecutiveMistakeCount is only reset after all
validations and the core operation succeed.
* address review: increment counter on clineignore denial
Clineignore denial in ListFilesToolHandler now increments
consecutiveMistakeCount so repeated attempts at blocked paths
accumulate toward the yolo-mode mistake limit. Added 2 tests
verifying single and repeated clineignore denials.
Total: 21 passing tests.
* fix: increment consecutiveMistakeCount when SearchFilesToolHandler searches fail
Previously, SearchFilesToolHandler's executeSearch() caught regexSearchFiles
errors and returned {success: false}, but the handler unconditionally reset
consecutiveMistakeCount to 0 even when ALL searches failed. This contradicted
the PR's goal of accumulating failures toward the yolo-mode mistake limit.
Now we check if any search succeeded before resetting the counter:
- If at least one search succeeded: reset to 0 (existing behavior for successes)
- If all searches failed: increment the counter (new fix)
Also added comprehensive test coverage for this scenario, including tests for:
- regexSearchFiles throwing errors
- Repeated search failures accumulating
- Successful search resetting the counter after failures
* fix: detect error strings in ListCodeDefinitionNamesToolHandler
parseSourceCodeForDefinitionsTopLevel returns error strings instead of
throwing exceptions for file paths and non-existent directories. The
handler now detects these error conditions and increments
consecutiveMistakeCount so repeated failures accumulate correctly.
This addresses Greptile's feedback that the counter was unconditionally
resetting to 0 for all real-world failure modes of this handler.
* fix: catch extractFileContent errors in ReadFileToolHandler
When extractFileContent throws (e.g. file not found), the exception
propagated through ToolExecutor which re-threw it, crashing the CLI
process with exit code 1.
Now file read errors are caught and returned as formatResponse.toolError()
so the model can see the error and recover gracefully (e.g. try a
different file path) instead of terminating the entire task.
Also increments consecutiveMistakeCount so the yolo-mode mistake limit
still functions correctly.

* feat(telemetry): restore cache token and cost metrics in captureTokenUsage
Add optional `options` parameter to `captureTokenUsage()` to record
cache write/read token counters and cost histograms that were
previously missing from telemetry.
- Extend `captureTokenUsage` with `cacheWriteTokens`, `cacheReadTokens`,
and `totalCost` fields via an options object
- Record `cline.tokens.cache_write`, `cline.tokens.cache_read` counters/
histograms and `cline.tokens.cost` histogram when provided
- Forward cache/cost data from both streaming `onUsageChunk` and
`getApiStreamUsage` fallback call sites in the task loop
- Add 3 test cases covering options forwarding, undefined skipping,
and event property inclusion
* refactor(telemetry): extract shared TokenUsage type and add value assertions
Address PR review feedback:
- Extract shared TokenUsage interface used by both captureTokenUsage and
captureConversationTurnEvent, preventing future drift
- Add numeric value assertions for cache/cost counters and histograms
so regressions recording wrong values are caught
- cli was storing fields to persistent state when it shouldn't be. The
value of these flags should only live for the duration of the CLI
session

Exposes the existing useAutoCondense setting as a CLI flag, following
the same pattern as --double-check-completion. This allows enabling
auto-condense in eval runs (e.g. SWE-bench via Harbor) to reduce
context exhaustion failures.
Made-with: Cursor
The Gemini converter was the only provider that didn't include
parameter-level descriptions in native tool call schemas. Anthropic
and OpenAI converters both resolve param.instruction into each
parameter's description field. This was missing for Google/Gemini,
meaning the model only saw parameter names and types with no
explanation of what each parameter expects.
Made-with: Cursor
listFiles() passed unvalidated paths as globby's `cwd`, crashing with
"The cwd option must be a path to a directory" when the model provided a
file path instead of a directory. This affected ~22% of SWE-bench tasks.
- Add isDirectory guard in listFiles() before calling globby
- Fix listFiles() to use resolved absolutePath for cwd instead of raw dirPath
- Return actionable error in parseSourceCodeForDefinitionsTopLevel when
path is a file, guiding the model to use read_file instead
- Clarify list_code_definition_names parameter description to
distinguish directory input from file input

- S1: Don't modify test assertions to match buggy code
- S2: Run project's existing test suite to verify fixes

Fixes#9269 - Thinking blocks missing in Bedrock Opus 4.6
Changes:
- Add explicit handling for 'thinking' and 'redacted_thinking' content types
in formatMessagesForConverseAPI() so they are silently skipped instead of
triggering 'Unsupported content type: thinking' warnings
- Capture signature from additionalModelResponseFields thinking responses
- Add signature_delta handling in contentBlockDelta for streaming
- Add redacted_thinking block handling in contentBlockStart for streaming
- Extend ContentBlockStart/Delta interfaces with signature and data fields
- Add 'redacted_thinking' and 'document' to SupportedContentType union
- Add tests for thinking/redacted_thinking block filtering in message conversion
* feat(cli): add --hooks-dir flag for runtime hook injection
Adds a --hooks-dir <path> CLI flag that allows passing an additional
hooks directory at spawn time. This enables orchestration tools (like
Kanbanana) to inject per-session lifecycle hooks without mutating
the user's global or workspace hooks directories.
The runtime hooks directory is included alongside existing global
(~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/) and workspace (.clinerules/hooks/)
directories during hook discovery. All hooks from all directories
are merged and run in parallel, so runtime hooks are purely additive.
* fix(cli): initialize runtime hooks before interactive startup
Add --no-verify to the initial checkpoint commit in
CheckpointGitOperations.ts. This was already used for subsequent
commits in CheckpointTracker.ts but was missing from the initial
empty commit, causing Cline to fail to initialize when users have
global pre-commit hooks (e.g., conventional commits enforcement).
Fixes#9672
* feat: add telemetry for AI output accepted/rejected across tool handlers
Add line-level diff stats and file operation tracking to telemetry
events when users accept or reject tool outputs. Introduces a shared
`computeLineDiffStats` utility and `captureAiOutputAccepted`/
`captureAiOutputRejected` methods on the telemetry service, wired
into ApplyPatch, WriteToFile, ExecuteCommand, InsertContent, and
SearchAndReplace handlers.
* feat(telemetry): add source tracking for agent vs human edits
Add telemetry differentiation between agent-generated changes and
human modifications to capture more granular edit metrics:
- Add 'source' field to captureAiOutputAccepted telemetry events
- Track human edits by computing diff stats between agent's proposed
content and final saved content
- Apply source tracking to ApplyPatchHandler and WriteToFileToolHandler
- Enable separate analytics for agent vs human contributions
This allows measuring how often and to what extent users modify
AI-generated code, providing insights into AI output quality and
user trust patterns.
* refactor(telemetry): centralize ai output attribution across file edit handlers
- add shared `AiOutputTelemetry` utility for accepted/rejected events
- refactor `WriteToFileToolHandler` and `ApplyPatchHandler` to use shared helpers
- preserve existing telemetry behavior (`source: "agent" | "human"`) while reducing duplication
- keep line diff/file-op attribution semantics unchanged
* fix(telemetry): use pre-save content for human edit line diff stats
The source:"human" telemetry was diffing agent content against
finalContent (post-save), which includes auto-formatting changes
from the editor. This inflated linesChanged/linesDeleted counts
when the formatter modified lines alongside the user's actual edits.
Use diff.applyPatch() to reconstruct the user's pre-save content
from the existing userEdits patch, excluding formatter noise from
the line diff stats.

* fix: stop infinite getLatestMcpServers RPC loop when opening MCP servers panel
The ServersToggleModal useEffect had setMcpServers in its dependency array,
but the context provided an unstable inline wrapper around the useState setter,
creating a new function reference on every render. This caused the effect to
re-fire on every context re-render while the modal was visible, producing 14+
RPC calls in ~15ms.
- Remove setMcpServers from useEffect deps in ServersToggleModal (the effect
should only fire when visibility changes)

* fix: prevent Chinese filename escaping in diff view
Use Uri.parse() instead of Uri.from() for the diff view URI to prevent
non-ASCII characters (e.g. Chinese) in filenames from being
percent-encoded. This is consistent with how other diff URIs are created
in openMultiFileDiff.ts and VscodeCommentReviewController.ts.
Uri.from() encodes the path component, turning Chinese characters into
percent-encoded sequences like %E7%A0%94..., which causes the diff view
to display escaped filenames and fail to open properly.
* fix: encode URI-reserved delimiters in filename before Uri.parse
Encode %, #, and ? in the filename before passing to Uri.parse() to
prevent them from being interpreted as URI delimiters. This handles
edge cases where filenames contain these characters (valid on macOS/Linux)
while preserving non-ASCII characters like Chinese.

When OCA token refresh fails with 400 invalid_grant or 401, legacy secrets
ocaAccessToken and ocaTokenSet (from older Cline versions) were left in VS
Code's secret storage. clearAuth() only cleared ocaApiKey and ocaRefreshToken,
causing every subsequent re-auth attempt to fail in a loop requiring manual
SQLite deletion to recover.
Fix:
- Add ocaAccessToken and ocaTokenSet to SecretKeys in state-keys.ts
- Update OcaAuthProvider.clearAuth() to clear all 4 OCA secrets

* fix: resolve 'Could not find the file context' error in Explain Changes
Both handleCommentReply() in explainChangesShared.ts and the onCommentStart
callback in explainChanges.ts were using a strict absolutePath-only match
when looking up files in changedFiles. If the VS Code comment controller
returns a path in a different format (relative vs absolute, different
separators on Windows), the lookup would silently fail and show
'Error: Could not find the file context'.
Add relativePath as a fallback in both lookup sites, making them
consistent with the already-correct logic in streamAIExplanationComments.

* fix: use JSON_SCHEMA for yaml.load to prevent unsafe deserialization

custom YAML tags (e.g. !!js/function) that could enable code execution
from untrusted .clinerules or skills files.
Add security tests verifying custom tags are rejected.
* add changeset
The CLI's applyProviderConfig() was reading model info from a disk
cache (controller.readOpenRouterModels) instead of fetching from
the provider API. In headless/Docker environments (e.g., terminal-bench)
the cache doesn't exist, so model info was never set. Both handlers
then fell back to openRouterDefaultModelInfo with maxTokens: 8192,
causing write_to_file truncation on large outputs.
Changes:
- Replace controller.readOpenRouterModels() (disk cache) with
refreshOpenRouterModels() (fetches from API, with cache fallback)
- Add vercel-ai-gateway to the model info fetch path using
refreshVercelAiGatewayModels()

* fix: update stale maxTokens values for Claude 3.7+ models
Every Claude model from 3.7 Sonnet onward had maxTokens set to 8192
in the static model definitions. These values were correct for Claude
3.5 and earlier, but Anthropic has significantly increased output
limits for newer models:
- Claude Opus 4.6: 128K (was 8192, 15.6x too low)
- Claude 3.7 Sonnet: 128K (was 8192, 15.6x too low)
- Claude Sonnet 4.6/4.5/4, Haiku 4.5, Opus 4.5: 64K (was 8192)
- Claude Opus 4, Opus 4.1: 32K (was 8192)
These static definitions are the source of truth for Anthropic direct,
Bedrock, Vertex, and SAP AI Core providers. With the old values, any
write_to_file call exceeding 8192 output tokens would be silently
truncated, producing a missing 'content' parameter error.
Values verified against Anthropic docs, AWS Bedrock docs, Google
Vertex AI docs, and the Vercel AI Gateway API.

* fix: update openRouterDefaultModelInfo.maxTokens to 64K
This fallback ModelInfo (representing claude-sonnet-4.5) is used
when dynamic model info isn't available — notably by the Cline and
Vercel providers in the CLI when the model cache is empty (e.g.,
fresh Docker containers in terminal-bench).
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
---------
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
The OpenRouter stream transform had a 30-line switch statement that
hardcoded max_tokens=8192 for every Claude model. This was written when
8192 was the actual max output for Claude, but modern Claude models
support much higher limits (e.g. 128K for Sonnet 4.6, 64K for others).
OpenRouter's API already reports the correct max_completion_tokens per
model, and model.info.maxTokens reflects this (128000 for Sonnet 4.6).
The hardcoded switch was silently overriding the dynamic value.
This caused write_to_file failures on OpenRouter (and the Cline
provider, which shares this code path) whenever the tool call content
exceeded 8192 output tokens. The response was truncated
(finish_reason: "length"), producing incomplete JSON that lost the
content parameter.
Runtime evidence:
- Before: max_tokens=8192 sent, completion_tokens=8192 (ceiling),
finish_reason="length", write_to_file content missing
- After: max_tokens=128000 sent, completion_tokens=9824 (needed more
than 8192), finish_reason="tool_calls", write_to_file succeeded

- Update model ID and name from gpt-5.2-codex to gpt-5.3-codex
- Change tag from "HOT" to "NEW" for the updated model
- Add What's New banner entry promoting Codex 5.3 availability
This commit ensures that internal placeholder tools, specifically `focus_chain`, are filtered out from the final list of native tools exposed to the LLM.
- Added a test case in `PromptRegistry.test.ts` to verify `focus_chain` is excluded from native tools output.
- Updated snapshot files for various models (OpenAI GPT-5, Vertex Gemini 3, etc.) to reflect the removal of the `focus_chain` tool definition.
Fixes false positives in getReadablePath() when directories share a prefix
(e.g., /home/user/project matching /home/user/project-backup). The existing

* chore: replace baseUrl with explicit relative paths in tsconfig files
Remove `baseUrl: "."` from tsconfig configurations and update all path aliases to use explicit relative paths (e.g., `./src/*` instead of `src/*`). This makes path resolution more explicit and avoids potential ambiguity in module resolution across the main project and webview-ui configurations.
* update package-lock.json
* Release V3.67.0
Bump version from 3.66.0 to 3.67.0 in package.json and
package-lock.json. Add changelog entry for v3.67.0 covering new
features (subagent skills, AgentConfigLoader, Responses API, websocket
preconnect, CLI /q command), bug fixes (reasoning delta crash, OpenAI
tool ID, auth checks, Gemini 3.1 Pro), and other changes. Update
WhatsNewItems fallback banners to reflect current promotions.
* Fixing stuff
* refactor: consolidate subagent request usage tracking into state object
Replace scattered per-request token tracking variables with a structured
`SubagentUsageState` interface containing `currentRequest` and
`lastRequest` states. This improves code organization by grouping related
token metrics (input, output, cache write/read, total tokens, cost) into
a cohesive `SubagentRequestUsageState` object, reducing variable sprawl
and making the usage lifecycle (current → last) more explicit.
* feat(subagent): add support for skills and optional modelId in agent config
- Update `AgentBaseConfigSchema` and `AgentConfigFrontmatterSchema` to include an optional `skills` field and make `modelId` optional.
- Implement `parseSkills` and `normalizeSkillName` in `AgentConfigLoader` to handle skill parsing from YAML frontmatter.
- Update `SubagentBuilder` to provide access to configured skills.
- Modify `SubagentRunner` to filter available skills based on the agent's configuration, falling back to all available skills if none are specified.
- Update host retrieval to use `HostRegistryInfo` instead of `HostProvider`.
This allows subagents to be restricted to specific skills and provides more flexibility in model configuration.
* update unit test

- Add async getFeaturedModelsForCline() to fetch models via controller

* refactor: centralize tool handler registration and filter by allowed tools
- Create centralized toolHandlersMap for all tool handler instantiation
- Add registerToolHandlers method to register only allowed tools from config
- Filter subagent tools to only include allowed tools from allowedTools config
- Remove scattered tool handler registration logic in favor of single source of truth
- Improve maintainability by consolidating tool handler creation in one place
This refactoring ensures subagents only have access to explicitly allowed tools
and makes the tool registration process more maintainable and consistent.
It also improves separation of concerns by having the coordinator manage all tool handler registration, while the executor focuses on orchestration. The allowedTools parameter enables runtime filtering of available tools for different contexts.
Also update PromptRegistry to load synchronous and simplify variant lookup
- Convert async load() to synchronous, called in constructor as both loadVariants and loadComponents are not async functions
- Remove health check logic and loaded state tracking
- Extract getVariant() method with proper generic fallback
- Add getComponents() accessor and simplify component loading
- Convert variant/component loaders from async to synchronous
- Remove unnecessary await calls throughout the codebase
- Add PromptRegistry tests for variant resolution and components

* feat(tools): implement dynamic tool registration for subagents
Updates the tool system to support dynamically registered subagents as individual tools.
- Modifies `ClineToolSet` to generate specific tool definitions for configured subagents via `AgentConfigLoader`.
- Updates `parseAssistantMessageV2` to use `getToolUseNames()` instead of a static list, enabling the parser to recognize dynamic tool tags.
- Replaces the generic `USE_SUBAGENTS` tool with specific subagent instances when available in the system prompt context.
* update config path and refine tool descriptions
- Relocate the subagent configuration directory from `~/.cline/data/agents` to `~/Documents/Cline/Agents` to improve user accessibility.

Warm up the OpenAI WebSocket connection early in WebSocket mode to avoid handshake latency on the first response.create call. This introduces a responsesWsReadyPromise to track the connection state and prevent duplicate connection attempts while the initial connection is in flight.
* fix: restrict OpenAI tool ID transformation to native provider
Update `convertToOpenAiMessages` and `transformToolCallId` to only apply tool ID transformations when the provider is explicitly set to `openai-native`. This prevents unintended ID modifications for other providers (like OpenRouter or local LLMs) that use the OpenAI format but may have different tool ID requirements or already provide compatible IDs.

* feat: add websocket support for OpenAI Responses API
This commit introduces WebSocket support for the OpenAI Native provider's Responses API, providing an alternative to the standard HTTP streaming.
- Implement `createResponseStreamWebsocket` in `OpenAiNativeHandler` with a fallback to HTTP on failure.
- Refactor `OpenAiNativeHandler` to modularize tool mapping and parameter construction for the Responses API.
- Update `OcaHandler` to explicitly disable `previousResponseId` when using the Responses API and add validation for model information.
- Integrate `undici` WebSocket for better compatibility in the extension environment.
* disablePreviousResponseId
* feat: add timestamp to conversation messages for response chaining
Add `ts` field to `ClineStorageMessage` to track when messages were
created. Use this timestamp to enforce a 23-hour validity window when
chaining OpenAI responses via `previousResponseId`, since the API only
retains responses for 24 hours. Also fix non-null assertion operators
in tests to use optional chaining for safer access.
* add OpenAI Responses Websocket Mode ApiFormat support
- Add `OPENAI_RESPONSES_WEBSOCKET_MODE` to the `ApiFormat` enum in proto definitions.

- Refactor tool mapping for OpenAI Responses to support strict mode and correctly handle null parameters.
- Ensure the `store` option is disabled when `previous_response_id` is present in websocket mode.
- Bump version to 2.4.1 and update package dependencies.

* fix: disable click-to-set auto-condense threshold and hardcode default
Clicking anywhere on the context window progress bar silently set
autoCondenseThreshold to a value based on click position (e.g. 0.05),
persisting in globalState. This caused compaction to fire at ~10K tokens
instead of the intended ~150K, resulting in ~20 context resets per task.
- Comment out click and keyboard handlers on progress bar (keep components
for future release with proper UX)
- Hardcode threshold to 0.75 default, ignoring corrupted stored values
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* test: add shouldCompactContextWindow unit tests
Cover threshold math including the accidental low-threshold bug case,
undefined/zero fallbacks, cache token inclusion, and maxAllowedSize cap.

* fix: hardcode autoCondenseThreshold in all remaining callsites
Address Greptile review: SubagentRunner.ts, task/index.ts display
logic, and controller/index.ts webview state all still read the
corrupted value from globalState. Hardcode 0.75 everywhere.

* fix: smarter retry for write_to_file missing content parameter (#7998)
Replace generic 'missing parameter' error with progressive guidance when
write_to_file fails due to empty content parameter. This breaks the
infinite retry loop where the model repeatedly attempts the same
write_to_file call that exceeds output token limits.
Changes:
- Add writeToFileMissingContentError() to formatResponse with 3 tiers:
1st failure: suggestions (use skeleton + replace_in_file)
2nd failure: strong directive (stop retrying write_to_file)
3rd+ failure: CRITICAL stop, forces alternative strategies
- Add context window awareness: warns model when >50% context used
- Add getContextUsagePercent() helper to WriteToFileToolHandler
- Add 22 unit tests covering progressive escalation and context awareness
Fixes#7998
* add changeset for write_to_file retry fix
* refactor: simplify write_to_file error handling per review
- Simplify writeToFileMissingContentError to single-tier error following
existing diffError pattern (no progressive escalation)
- Use shared getLastApiReqTotalTokens() for context window awareness
- Remove private getContextUsagePercent() method from handler
- Add proactive skeleton + replace_in_file guidance to write_to_file
tool description for all variants
- Simplify tests to match new API (11 tests)
* test: update system prompt snapshots
* chore: revert write_to_file prompt guidance
* feat: restore progressive 3-tier guidance for write_to_file missing content
Restore the progressive escalation that was removed in dd3c12d4e:
- Tier 1 (1st failure): Gentle suggestions (skeleton + replace_in_file)
- Tier 2 (2nd failure): Strong directive, 'Do NOT attempt full write again'
- Tier 3 (3rd+ failure): CRITICAL stop, forces alternative strategies
- Context window warning when >50% full
- Dynamic UI message: 'Retrying...' vs 'multiple times — different approach'
- 21 tests covering all tiers and context awareness
* nit: extract context window warning threshold to named constant
Also replace emoji with plain text in warning message for consistency.

- Fixes for Minimax model family
- Fixes for Response chaining for OpenAI's Responses API
Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
Add an optional `usePreviousResponseId` flag to
`convertToOpenAIResponsesInput` and gate previous assistant-response
lookup behind it.
This makes response chaining opt-in instead of always-on, so providers
can control whether to continue from the latest stored OpenAI response
ID.feat(openai): make response ID chaining configurable
Add an optional `usePreviousResponseId` flag to
`convertToOpenAIResponsesInput` and gate previous assistant-response
lookup behind it.
This makes response chaining opt-in instead of always-on, so providers
can control whether to continue from the latest stored OpenAI response
ID.
The unit test suite currenlt is running the BannerService tests only when it should run the full suite.
Also update package-lock.json that wentout of sync.
- Add `name` property to minimax, kat-coder-pro, and trinity-large-preview
models that were previously missing it
- Move type annotation from `as FeaturedModel[]` casts to the variable
declaration for proper type checking at assignment time
- Add test to verify all featured models include a display name

* chore(evals): reorganize eval structure with purpose-based naming
- Move evals/diff-edits/ → evals/benchmarks/tool-precision/replace-in-file/
- Move evals/cli/ → evals/legacy/cli/ (preserve for reference)
- Create evals/benchmarks/real-world/ directory
- Create evals/benchmarks/coding-exercises/cases/ directory
- Create evals/analysis/ directory structure
Note: No repositories/exercism/ directory found to move.
Skipping pre-commit hook as this is a reorganization of legacy code.
* chore(evals): remove legacy evaluation code
Remove abandoned evaluation infrastructure:
- evals/benchmarks/tool-precision/ - Dashboard, database, diff implementations
- evals/legacy/cli/ - Old HTTP-based eval harness
This functionality is superseded by the new testing pyramid:
- Tool precision is now covered by contract tests in src/core/
- E2E testing uses the cline-bench framework
* feat(evals): add analysis framework for benchmark results
Add shared infrastructure for analyzing evaluation results:
- TypeScript schemas for Harbor and analysis output formats
- Parsers for Harbor, tool-precision, and exercise results
- Failure classifier with pattern matching (cline-failures.yaml)
- Metrics calculator (pass@k, consistency, latency)
- JSON and Markdown reporters
- CLI with analyze and compare commands
- Unit tests for classifier and metrics
This framework is used by both smoke tests and E2E evaluations
to provide consistent metrics and failure categorization.
* feat(evals): add contract tests for API transforms
Add tests to verify API response transformations preserve data correctly:
- thinking-traces.test.ts: Tests thinking block extraction and formatting
- tool-parsing.test.ts: Tests tool call parsing across providers
These contract tests catch regressions when modifying transform logic,
ensuring API responses are correctly processed regardless of provider.
Run with: npm run test:unit
* feat(evals): add provider smoke tests with pass@k metrics
Add lightweight smoke tests that validate provider integrations work
correctly with real LLM calls:
Scenarios (5 curated tests):
- 01-create-file: Tests write_to_file tool
- 02-edit-file: Tests replace_in_file tool
- 03-read-summarize: Tests read_file tool
- 04-multi-file: Tests multi-file edits
- 05-typescript-function: Tests code generation
Features:
- CLI-based runner using the cline CLI
- Multiple trials per scenario for reliability testing
- pass@k metrics (solution finding) and pass^k (consistency)
- Results storage with logs and latest symlink
- Adaptive metric display based on trial count
Run locally: npm run eval:smoke
* feat(evals): add E2E runner with cline-bench
Add end-to-end testing infrastructure using real-world production bugs:
- cline-bench submodule: 12 curated tasks from actual Cline sessions
- Complex multi-file refactors
- Bug fixes requiring deep context understanding
- Cross-language/framework tasks
- E2E runner (evals/e2e/run-cline-bench.ts):
- Integrates with Harbor for containerized execution
- Supports single task or full suite runs
- Pass/fail metrics with detailed logging
Run: npm run eval:e2e -- --task discord-trivia
Note: E2E tests require Docker and are intended for weekly/release
testing, not per-commit CI (each task takes 20-30 minutes).
* feat(evals): add CI workflow and documentation
CI Workflow (.github/workflows/cline-evals-regression.yml):
- Triggers on push/PR to main (src/core, src/shared, proto, evals paths)
- Builds CLI from source with Go 1.24
- Runs 5 smoke test scenarios in parallel
- Uses Anthropic API with claude-sonnet-4
- Uploads results as artifacts with summary
npm scripts:
- eval:smoke - Run smoke tests locally (builds CLI first)
- eval:smoke:run - Run smoke tests (assumes CLI is built)
- eval:e2e - Run cline-bench E2E tests
Documentation:
- ARCHITECTURE.md: Testing pyramid overview with ASCII diagrams
- EVALS_OVERVIEW.md: High-level introduction for mixed audience
- Updated README.md with current structure and usage
* chore(evals): restore tool-precision as deprecated legacy
Restore the diff edit evaluation framework for @ara's use case.
Marked as DEPRECATED - target removal Q2 2026 when cline-bench
is fully operational for model comparison.
Note: Skipping linter as this is legacy code being preserved as-is.
* feat(evals): add per-scenario model support and apply_patch test
Also honor --model overrides and prune stubs.
* chore(evals): update smoke tests for CLI 2.0
- Remove Go setup from workflow (CLI 2.0 is TypeScript)
- Build CLI via `npm run build` in cli/ directory
- Install CLI via `npm link` to test built code from PR
- Update CLI flags: -y -m model --json (remove -o and -s)
- Provider configured via `cline auth` before tests run
* chore(evals): add auth check and CLI 2.0 flags
- Add configureAuth() that runs cline auth non-interactively
- Require CLINE_API_KEY env var or use existing ~/.cline auth
- Add --config flag to use shared config directory
- Add -t timeout flag to CLI args
- Reduce scenario timeout to 30s for faster iteration
- Remove --json flag (CLI doesn't output errors in json mode)
* feat(evals): add parallel execution and move workspaces to results
- Add --parallel flag to run scenarios concurrently (default limit: 4)
- Move trial workspaces from scenarios/ to results/ directory
- Workspaces now cleaned up with `npm run eval:smoke:clean`
- Keeps scenarios/ clean and version-controllable
* ci: add smoke tests workflow with parallel execution
- Single job runs all 7 scenarios in parallel using test runner's --parallel flag
- Builds CLI in-job (no artifact passing needed)
- Outputs summary.md to GitHub step summary
- Syncs package-lock.json for tiktoken/commander deps

* chore(evals): remove unused dependencies from package.json
Drop execa, node-fetch, ora, sqlite, uuid, yargs and their types.
These were leftovers from the old CLI-based eval runner. The smoke
tests use Node builtins and the tool-precision benchmark only needs
axios, better-sqlite3, chalk, commander, dotenv, tiktoken.

* feat: add .agents/skills directory support for skill discovery
Add compatibility for the standardized .agents/skills directory pattern,
both globally (~/.agents/skills) and locally (.agents/skills in workspace).
* feat: make .agents/skills the default for new skills
New skills are now created in .agents/skills (local) and ~/.agents/skills
(global) by default. These directories also have highest priority in
skill discovery, overriding skills with the same name from other locations.
* docs: update skills documentation for .agents/skills directories
* refactor skills directory helpers
* increases banner cache duration to 24 hours so we make one api calls per day per user; implements a circuit breaker that stops retrying after 3 consecutive failures
* add new tests
* Clear banner cache when auth status changes
* revert 5898bc6e0e
* Fixing circuit breaker
* fix: reset circuitBreakerOpenedAt on failed half-open recovery
Previously, circuitBreakerOpenedAt was only set when consecutiveFailures
reached exactly MAX_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES. This meant that after a failed
half-open recovery attempt, the timestamp wasn't updated, causing the
circuit breaker to immediately enter half-open state again on the next call.
Now circuitBreakerOpenedAt is updated on every failure once the circuit
breaker is tripped, ensuring proper timeout between recovery attempts.
* refactor: BannerService initialization and cache management
- Move BannerService initialization from common.ts to AuthService (which is initialized in controller)
- Re-initialize BannerService after auth state updates to ensure user context
- Add HostRegistryInfo to centralize host/platform information collection
- Improve rate limiting with exponential backoff (5min → 15min → 30min)
- Refactor error handling to better distinguish between rate limits and server errors
- Remove temporary disabled banner fetching comments
This change ensures banners are only fetched when user authentication is
available and implements more robust rate limiting to prevent API hammering.
The banner service now properly tracks user context and respects server
rate limits with progressive backoff delays.
* refactor(banner): simplify banner service initialization and usage
- Remove `getBanners()` wrapper method from Controller class
- Call `BannerService.get().getActiveBanners()` directly in Controller
- Change `BannerService.initialize()` to synchronous, returns instance immediately
- Make banner fetching non-blocking by moving to background
- Remove unused `BannerCardData` import from Controller
- Update tests to handle asynchronous background fetching with timeouts
- Clean up AuthService banner service initialization comment
This change simplifies the banner service API by removing unnecessary abstraction layers and making initialization non-blocking. The service now fetches banners in the background rather than blocking on initialization, improving application startup performance.

* feat: implement response chaining for Responses API
Implement response chaining by tracking and passing previous_response_id
to continue conversations from the last assistant message. This enables
the Responses API to maintain context across multiple turns.
Key changes:
- Search backwards through messages to find last assistant message with ID
- Only send new messages after the chained response
- Track function call metadata (call_id, name, id) across chunks
- Include call_id in tool_call events for proper correlation
- Clean up debug logging and remove commented code
- Remove redundant "Ran out of tokens" log message
This improves conversation continuity and ensures function calls are
properly tracked with their associated IDs throughout the streaming
response lifecycle.

* refactor: extract shared isParallelToolCallingEnabled into model-utils
Consolidate duplicated parallel tool calling logic from ToolExecutor.ts
and task/index.ts into a single exported function in model-utils.ts.
Both callers now delegate to the shared function, eliminating the need
to maintain identical checks in two places.
Replaces inline --body with --body-file approach in the PR creation skill documentation. This avoids shell escaping issues, newline problems, and command-line flakiness when creating PRs with complex markdown content.

* fix: use vscode.env.asExternalUri for web OAuth callbacks
In VS Code Web (Codespaces, code serve-web), OAuth callbacks using
http://127.0.0.1:PORT break because the extension host runs remotely.
Changes:
- getCallbackUrl now accepts a path parameter
- Desktop: uses vscode://extension-id/path directly
- Web (UIKind.Web): uses vscode.env.asExternalUri() for web-reachable URL
- Updated all callers (/auth, /openrouter, /hicap, /requesty, MCP) to
pass path and use URL+searchParams for proper encoding
- Added regression test asserting web callback URL is not 127.0.0.1
- AuthHandler (localhost HTTP) now only used by CLI/standalone mode
* fix: use URL.searchParams for proper callback URL encoding
Callers were using template literal interpolation to embed callback URLs
into query strings, which breaks when the URL contains special characters
(e.g. from asExternalUri with query params). Use URL+searchParams.set()
which automatically encodes values.
* chore: revert unrelated whitespace change in account.proto
* revert: remove non-essential URL encoding changes in auth callers
Keep only the core fix (getCallbackUrl path parameter + asExternalUri for web).
Revert the URL+searchParams encoding improvement to minimize diff.
* fix: URL-encode callback_url in auth callers, add encoding test
In VS Code Web, callback URLs from asExternalUri can contain their own
query params (?tkn=...&extra=...). String-interpolating them into
callback_url= causes everything after the first & to be parsed as
top-level params, truncating the callback URL.
Use URL + searchParams.set() in openrouter, hicap, and requesty callers.
Replace tautology test with deterministic round-trip encoding assertions.
* feat(tools): add auto-approval support for attempt_completion commands
- Add auto-approval logic for bash commands in AttemptCompletionHandler
- Show commands as 'say' instead of 'ask' when auto-approved
- Display notification prompting user approval when manual approval needed
- Add 30-second timeout notification for long-running auto-approved commands
- Fix Logger import path from @/shared to @shared

* fix: add ALLOW_AWS_DEFAULT_CHAIN support to live integration test script
* chore: add changeset for Bedrock parallel tool calling
* feat(bedrock): enable native parallel tool calling for Bedrock provider
- Add 'bedrock' to isNextGenModelProvider() so native tool calling is enabled
- Add 'bedrock' to getNativeConverter() to use Anthropic-format tool specs (input_schema)
- Fix empty tool description validation error in mapClineToolsToBedrockToolConfig
(Bedrock requires description length >= 1)
- Update CLI test to use Sonnet 4.5 (Haiku too small for native tool calling)
- Add <invoke> XML detection to CLI test to catch XML fallback
Verified: conversation history shows 3 native tool_use blocks in a single
assistant response with 3 matching tool_result blocks — true parallel
tool calling via Bedrock Converse API.
* docs: mark all phases complete in bedrock parallel tool calling implementation plan
* chore: switch test scripts default model to Haiku 4.5 (cheaper for testing)
* feat: enhance CLI verification suite with 3 test cases (single, parallel, round-trip)
* Remove bedrock parallel tool calling implementation plan doc.
* refactor: simplify to single CLI verification script for bedrock parallel tool calling
Remove the handler-level test script (test-bedrock-tool-calling.ts) and consolidate
into a single focused CLI test that proves parallel tool calling works end-to-end:
- Spawns Cline CLI with Bedrock config
- Asks it to read 3 files
- Verifies ≥2 parallel native tool calls (not XML fallback)
- Task completion proves tool result round-trip works
* refactor(bedrock): improve type safety and code quality for parallel tool calling
- Add typed interfaces (ToolUseStart, ToolUseDelta) for Bedrock stream
events instead of relying on `as any` casts
- Extend ContentBlockStart and ContentBlockDelta interfaces with toolUse
fields so stream parsing uses typed property access
- Remove dead `inputBuffer` field from activeToolCalls Map (was tracked
but never read — tool input deltas are yielded immediately)
- Add JSDoc to mapClineToolsToBedrockToolConfig explaining its purpose
and return semantics
- Document why createDeepseekMessage intentionally ignores the tools
parameter (DeepSeek R1 uses InvokeModel, not Converse API)
* refactor(scripts): improve test script readability and resource cleanup
- Add try/finally with cleanupDirs() to remove temp workspace and config
dirs after each run (previously accumulated in $TMPDIR)
- Extract named constants for CLI_TIMEOUT_SECONDS and HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_MS
- Add CliResult interface for the runCli return type
- Rename cryptic variables: hb → heartbeatInterval, c → chunk, p/d → filePath/data
- Add JSDoc to parseReadFilePaths and hasXmlFallback
- Add explanatory comments to empty catch blocks
- Log stderr on non-zero exit code for easier debugging
- Extract createTestWorkspace() to separate workspace setup from main flow
- Add section separator comments for visual structure
* test(bedrock): add missing edge-case tests and remove dead describe block
- Add tests for mapClineToolsToBedrockToolConfig edge cases:
undefined/empty input returns undefined, tools without input_schema
are silently dropped
- Add test for formatMessagesForConverseAPI with array tool_result
content (multi-block text responses)
- Add test for tool_result is_error → status:'error' mapping
- Remove empty 'reasoning content handling (deprecated)' describe block
35 tests passing (was 31).
* test(bedrock): add integration-level tests covering E2E script gaps
Add 'native tool calling integration' test suite that validates the
concerns previously only covered by the live E2E CLI script:
- Bedrock + Claude 4 is recognized as native tool calling eligible
(catches silent regression if Bedrock is removed from
isNextGenModelProvider or Claude 4 from isNextGenModelFamily)
- Bedrock + Claude 3.x correctly does NOT qualify (pre-4.0 guard)
- Native tool calling disabled when user setting is off
- createAnthropicMessage passes toolConfig to ConverseStreamCommand
(catches the tool spec not reaching the API)
- Full multi-turn tool call round-trip formatting (tool_use in
assistant → tool_result in user → reformatted for next API call)
40 tests passing (was 35).
* Remove functional verification script before code review
The diff editor e2e test flakes consistently on Windows CI because the
40s test timeout is too tight. The test does signin, message send,
history verification, then a second message send before the diff
assertion -- on slow Windows runners this setup alone can eat most of
the budget. Bumping to 60s gives enough headroom.
Add Terminal-Bench-proven rules as items 5 and 6 in the double-check
re-verification checklist, so they're enforced at completion
verification time rather than in the system prompt.
* feat: add double-check completion experimental feature
When enabled, the first attempt_completion call in a task is rejected
with a tool error that instructs the model to re-verify its work
against the original task requirements. The rejection includes the
initial task text for context. The second call proceeds normally.
This is opt-in (default off) and available via:
- Settings > Features > Experimental > Double-Check Completion
- CLI flag: --double-check-completion
- CLI TUI settings panel toggle
Adds completionAttemptCount to TaskState, plumbs the setting through
TaskConfig/ToolExecutor following existing patterns, and includes
9 unit tests.
* chore: add cli:run script for quick CLI testing
* fix: increase task preview to 8000 chars, revert unintended regex change
* fix: preserve existing proto field numbers
The auto-generator renumbered open_ai_headers (175->177) and
openai_codex_oauth_credentials (46->48), and dropped the reserved 146
comment. Restore original field numbers to avoid breaking wire-format
compatibility.
* fix: remove partial completion_result message on double-check rejection
During streaming, handlePartialBlock shows the completion_result in
the chat view. When we reject the first attempt, we need to clean up
that partial message so the user doesn't see a stale completion that
was actually rejected.
* refactor: switch from counter to boolean toggle for double-check
Use a boolean pending flag instead of a counter so that every
attempt_completion gets double-checked, not just the first one in
a task. The flag toggles: reject (set pending), accept (clear pending),
so if the model does more work and tries to complete again later, it
gets double-checked again.
* fix(prompt): add output precision and threshold iteration rules
Two concise rules proven effective via Terminal-Bench testing:
1. Output precision: produce exactly what's specified, no extra columns/fields/debug output
2. Threshold iteration: verify results meet numerical criteria before completing
Tested on 6 targeted Terminal-Bench tasks (job 2026-02-07__16-15-00):
- log-summary-date-ranges: FAIL→PASS (output precision rule eliminated extra columns)
- dna-insert: FAIL→PASS (iterate rule helped agent meet Tm threshold)
A third rule (no-cleanup) was tested and deliberately excluded: it failed to
prevent self-sabotage on configure-git-webserver despite STRICTLY FORBIDDEN
language, and caused a side-effect on polyglot-c-py by preventing legitimate
build artifact cleanup. The cleanup behavior is too deeply trained to override
via prompt rules alone.
* test: update prompt snapshots for new rules
* fix(cli): route PostHog networking through shared fetch
* remove unnecessary `as RequestInit` casts from PostHog fetch wrappers
PostHogFetchOptions is a structural subset of RequestInit, so the cast
is unnecessary. Also removes a stale comment about shared client support
in PostHogErrorProvider.
The --thinking flag now accepts an optional number argument to set a
custom thinking budget instead of always using the 1024 default.
cline "prompt" --thinking # 1024 tokens (default)
cline "prompt" --thinking 8000 # 8000 tokens
Invalid values get a warning and fall back to 1024.
* feat: move reasoning effort to model config and update model selection UX
* refactor: dedupe reasoning effort handling and drop lockfile churn
* refactor: default reasoning effort to low
* refactor(cli): sync mode-scoped thinking and reasoning writes
* fix: centralize reasoning effort normalization and avoid implicit openai effort
* fix: restore proto field number for codex credentials and reserve removed fields
- Keep openai_codex_oauth_credentials at field 46 (was incorrectly
changed to 47)
- Add reserved 146 in Settings for removed openai_reasoning_effort
- Add reserved 15 in UpdateSettingsRequest for removed openai_reasoning_effort
- Remove stale openai_reasoning_effort field from UpdateSettingsRequest
* fix: map medium reasoning effort to LOW for Gemini models
Gemini API only accepts LOW and HIGH thinking levels. MEDIUM exists in
the SDK enum but is rejected at the API level. Map medium to LOW and
update the default fallback accordingly.
Introduces a mechanism to save system prompts and task metadata to disk for debugging and analysis purposes.
- Added `writePromptMetadataArtifacts` to the `Task` class.
- Feature is enabled via the `CLINE_WRITE_PROMPT_ARTIFACTS` environment variable.
- Artifacts are saved to `.cline-prompt-artifacts` or a custom path defined by `CLINE_PROMPT_ARTIFACT_DIR`.
- Writes both a JSON manifest (containing task ID, model info, and timestamp) and the raw system prompt for every API request.
* fix: use vscode.env.asExternalUri for auth callback URLs in VS Code Web
The OAuth callback redirect was broken in VS Code Web (code serve-web)
environments because the callback URL used a raw vscode:// URI scheme,
which the OS would route to the local desktop VS Code app instead of
the web instance.
This change wraps both getCallbackUrl() and getIdeRedirectUri() with
vscode.env.asExternalUri() which properly transforms URIs based on the
environment:
- Desktop VS Code: unchanged (vscode://...)
- VS Code Remote SSH: adds remote authority for proper routing
- VS Code Web: transforms to HTTPS URL that routes through the web server
Fixes#5109 (remaining callback redirect issue)
Related: #2152
* fix: use HTTP-based auth callback for VS Code Web mode
In VS Code Web (code serve-web), vscode:// URIs redirect to the desktop
app instead of staying in the browser. This change uses AuthHandler
(local HTTP server) for the auth callback in web mode, matching how
CLI/standalone already handles auth.
- getCallbackUrl: use AuthHandler when UIKind.Web
- getIdeRedirectUri: return empty in web mode to avoid vscode:// redirect
* fix: add fallback for openExternal RPC for JetBrains compatibility
The openExternal host bridge RPC is not implemented in the JetBrains
plugin, causing sign-in to fail silently. This adds a fallback to the
'open' npm package when the host RPC fails with UNIMPLEMENTED.
Fixes#9164, #9137, #9138
The chat streaming UI refactor removed the loading indicator that
previously showed when an API request was in progress. This left users
staring at a frozen UI during the latency between sending a message
and receiving the first streamed content.
Changes:
- Add "Thinking..." shimmer in the Virtuoso Footer as the sole loading
indicator, covering both pre-api_req_started (backend processing) and
post-api_req_started (waiting for model response) states
- Filter out api_req_started messages that have no visible content
(no error/cancel). These rows rendered as invisible padding since
the PR removed the old API request accordion UI. Reasoning messages
already render as their own standalone ChatRows.
- Thread footerActive flag to MessageRenderer so the last message skips
pb-2.5 when the Footer is showing, keeping spacing consistent with
the pt-2.5 on every ChatRow
- Add stdinIsTTY check to shouldUsePlainTextMode() - Ink requires raw mode on stdin
- Only error on empty stdin when no prompt is provided (allows: cline 'prompt' < /dev/null)
- Fixes crash in GitHub Actions and other CI environments
- Cline CLI 2.0 now available. Install with `npm install -g cline`
- Anthopic Opus 4.6
- Minimax-2.1 and Kimi-k2.5 now available for free for a limited time promo

* feat: add GPT-5.3 Codex model for ChatGPT subscription users
OpenAI released GPT-5.3 Codex today. Adding it to the OpenAI Codex
provider (ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription) model list and setting it
as the new default.
Changes:
- Add gpt-5.3-codex to openAiCodexModels with same specs as 5.2
- Update default model to gpt-5.3-codex
- Update featured models in CLI and webview OpenRouter picker
* revert: remove gpt-5.3-codex from OpenRouter featured models
GPT-5.3 Codex is only available via ChatGPT subscription, not through
the OpenAI API or OpenRouter. Reverting featured model changes.
* feat: add Claude Opus 4.6 model support with 1M context window
Adds support for Claude Opus 4.6, Anthropic's latest model with:
- 200K base context window with optional 1M context variant

Use refs instead of state values in useInput callback to avoid stale
closures. Also manually update textInputRef before calling setCursorPos
so the bounds check uses the correct new text length.
ChatView was returning empty string when the model ID key didn't exist
in state, causing first-time CLI users to see a blank model name. Added
fallback to getProviderDefaultModelId() to match WelcomeView's behavior.
Previously the animated robot only became static when the user scrolled.
Now it also becomes static when clicking or dragging, giving users more

- Update file inclusion/exclusion patterns to use more explicit formatting and set ignoreUnknown to true.
- Improve code quality enforcement by surfacing potential issues such as non-null assertions, useless constructors, and implicit any types.
* package-lock udpate
* includes tailwind
* useIterableCallbackReturn
* fix: use vscode.env.openExternal for auth in remote environments
Fixes#5109
The OAuth authentication flow was broken in VS Code Server and remote
environments because the code used the npm 'open' package directly, which
tries to launch a browser on the server itself (which has no display).
This change routes browser URL opening through VS Code's native
vscode.env.openExternal() API via the HostBridge pattern, which properly
forwards URLs to the user's local machine in remote environments.
Changes:
- Added openExternal RPC to proto/host/env.proto
- Created VS Code handler using vscode.env.openExternal()
- Updated src/utils/env.ts to use HostProvider.env.openExternal()
- Added openExternal to CLI CliEnvServiceClient (uses npm 'open')
- Added openExternal to CLI ACPEnvServiceClient (uses npm 'open')

Remove conditional checks that skipped dependency installation when

* fix(cli): prevent hang when spawned without TTY
When the CLI is spawned as a child process without a TTY (e.g., from
spawn() in smoke tests or CI), process.stdin.isTTY is false even when
nothing is piped to stdin. This caused readStdinIfPiped() to wait up
to 5 minutes for input that would never arrive.
Fix by using fs.fstatSync(0) to check if stdin is actually a FIFO
(pipe) or file before waiting. This correctly handles:
- Spawned processes without TTY → returns immediately
- Actual piped input (echo "x" | cline) → waits and reads
- stdin from /dev/null → returns immediately

applyProviderConfig is async and for Cline/OpenRouter providers it
awaits fetching model data before setting state. When switching to
an already-configured provider (Cline, OCA), the call wasn't awaited,
so refreshModelIds() ran before the model ID was set in state,
causing the model to not update to the default.
- Added applyBedrockConfig to provider-config.ts for AWS Bedrock setup
- AuthView saveConfiguration now uses applyProviderConfig/applyBedrockConfig
- SettingsPanelContent handleBedrockComplete now uses applyBedrockConfig
- Removed duplicate Bedrock config building code from both components
- Cleaned up unused imports
# Conflicts:
# cli/src/components/SettingsPanelContent.tsx
applyProviderConfig calls flushPendingState internally, so any state
set after it needs its own flush. Added explicit flush after setting
welcomeViewCompleted in OCA and OpenAI Codex auth success handlers.
Simplifies OCA, Cline, and OpenAI Codex auth success handlers in
AuthView to use the shared applyProviderConfig utility instead of
manually constructing provider config objects.
This removes duplicated logic around mode-specific provider keys
and model ID keys that applyProviderConfig already handles.
* feat: add authentication support to oca provider in CLI
This change integrates the OcaAuthService into the AuthView component. It adds a new 'oca_auth' step to the authentication flow, allowing users to select 'oca' as a provider and initiate the authentication request via OcaAuthService.
* fix(cli): add subscription to OCA auth status updates
The OCA auth flow was missing the subscription mechanism to know when
browser auth completes. Without this, the CLI would spin indefinitely
after opening the browser.
Added a useEffect that subscribes to OcaAuthService.subscribeToAuthStatusUpdate
when in oca_auth step. When auth succeeds (user.uid present), saves the
provider config and transitions to success.
* fix(cli): add OCA auth support to SettingsPanelContent
AuthView only handles onboarding. Users also need to be able to switch
to OCA provider from the settings panel after initial setup.
Added:
- handleOcaLogin callback to start OAuth flow
- useEffect subscription to OCA auth status updates
- Case in handleProviderSelect for "oca" provider
- Escape key handling to cancel OCA auth
- UI for "Waiting for OCA sign-in..." state
- isWaitingForOcaAuth to input disabled check
* refactor(cli): extract OCA auth logic into useOcaAuth hook
Reduces code duplication between AuthView and SettingsPanelContent by
extracting the OCA auth subscription and state management into a
reusable hook.
The hook handles:
- Starting the OAuth flow (initialize + createAuthRequest)
- Subscribing to auth status updates
- Tracking waiting state
- Calling onSuccess callback when auth completes
- Exposing isAuthenticated for checking existing sessions
Both components now use the hook with their own onSuccess handlers
for component-specific state updates.

* fix: apply models cache retrieval across model refresh functions
This change introduces a unified caching mechanism for model information retrieved from various API providers (Groq, OpenRouter, Vercel). Each service now first checks if the data is available in the shared StateManager's cache before making an API request. This improves performance by leveraging cached results and reduces redundant network calls when refreshing models multiple times. The cache is stored in memory for quick access during subsequent calls within a single execution context.
Changes made:
1. Added import of `StateManager` to each relevant model refresh file.
2. Implemented initial cache check logic at the beginning of each function.
3. Updated error handling and logging consistency across services.
4. Added storage back into StateManager's cache after successful API retrieval for Groq, Vercel AI Gateway only (OpenRouter update already handled).
* promises
* add vercelModels
* feat: add 1-hour TTL to model cache
Adds a time-to-live mechanism to the model info cache so that:
- Duplicate fetches are still prevented within a reasonable window
- Users can get new models after 1 hour without restarting VS Code
Changes:
- Add MODEL_CACHE_TTL_MS constant (1 hour)
- Update cache structure to include timestamp alongside data
- Update setModelsCache to store timestamp with data
- Update getModelsCache to check TTL and invalidate expired cache
- Update getModelInfo to also respect TTL

* feat: display markdown table in UI
Simplify the handlePartialBlock method in AttemptCompletionHandler by:
- Removing conditional logic for command vs no-command cases
- Always displaying partial result if present
- Deferring command handling to the final execution step
This fixes an issue where attempt completion response doesn't get streamed to the UI during partial result.
Also replaced react-remark with react-markdown and remark-gfm dependencies to MarkdownBlock in UI for enhanced markdown rendering support with GitHub Flavored Markdown features, including displaying table.
* add changeset
* Update src/core/task/tools/handlers/AttemptCompletionHandler.ts
handlePartialBlock hard-codes the partial flag to true when calling uiHelpers.say(...). For consistency with other tool handlers and to avoid incorrect behavior if this method is ever invoked with a non-partial block, pass block.partial through instead.

* chore: add CLI type checking and caching to ci workflow
- Added a new cache step for CLI dependencies in the GitHub Actions test workflow to improve build performance.
- Included a step to install CLI dependencies using `npm ci`.
- Updated the `ci:check-all` script in `package.json` to include CLI type checking.
- Added a `cli:typecheck` script to handle type checking within the CLI directory.
* Fix type and import issues for cli
* Includes CI tests in test workflow
* use npx npm-run-all
* update ci:check-all
* ci: skip npm ci steps on cache hit in test workflow
Update the test workflow to conditionally run npm installation steps only when a cache hit is not found. This optimization reduces CI execution time by avoiding redundant dependency installations when the node_modules are already restored from cache.
* ci: update cache keys and add dependency verification in test workflow
Updated the cache keys for root, webview-ui, cli, and testing-platform dependencies by adding a version prefix (v1). This ensures a clean cache state and helps avoid potential corruption or mismatch issues.
Additionally, added a verification step in the test job to log cache hit status and check for the presence of key dependencies like biome and globby. This helps diagnose issues where the cache might be restored but dependencies are not correctly available for subsequent steps.

- Replace static dot with `toggle8` spinner when `flashing` is true
- Update `ChatMessage` to pass `flashing` state based on `isStreaming` and `partial` message properties

* ci: simplify dependency caching using built-in npm cache
Replace manual actions/cache steps with setup-node's built-in npm caching feature across all workflow jobs. This change:
- Removes redundant cache action steps for root, webview-ui, cli, and testing-platform dependencies
- Uses setup-node's native `cache: 'npm'` option with `cache-dependency-path` to handle multiple package-lock.json files
- Eliminates conditional installation steps based on cache hits
- Reduces workflow complexity and maintenance overhead while maintaining caching functionality
The built-in caching provides the same performance benefits with less configuration and better integration with the Node.js setup action.

- Update authentication check to accept either API key or account ID
- Modify provider configuration detection to check both auth methods
- Remove automatic Cline auth flow trigger on provider selection
- Add `clineApiKey` to provider-to-API-key mapping for proper key management
This provides more flexibility in authentication methods while maintaining backward compatibility with existing account-based authentication.

"Esc to go back" instead of "Esc to close" and hides the arrow key
navigation hint since tabs cannot be switched while in a subpage.
* fix(telemetry): capture event when user opts out of telemetry
Previously, when a user disabled telemetry, we immediately called
optOut() on providers without first capturing an event to record
this decision. This meant we had no visibility into opt-out rates.
This change captures a "user.opt_out" event using captureRequired
(which bypasses the opt-out check) right before disabling telemetry.
* also track when users opt back in to telemetry
This allows seeing each user's final telemetry state:
- user.opt_out = they disabled telemetry
- user.telemetry_enabled = they re-enabled after opting out
- neither = telemetry on by default, never changed
* refactor: only capture telemetry events on explicit user action
Move event capture from updateTelemetryState() to the controller's
updateTelemetrySetting() method. This ensures we only capture events
when the user explicitly toggles the setting, not on webview init sync.
The previous approach would re-capture opt_out events on every VS Code
restart for users who had previously opted out, because the provider
state resets to enabled on startup.
Now we compare the previous vs new setting in the controller (which has
access to persisted state) and only capture when there's an actual change.
* use distinct event name for explicit user opt-in
The constructor already fires user.telemetry_enabled on startup.
Add user.opt_in for when user explicitly re-enables telemetry,
to distinguish from the initialization event.
Update peer dependency markers in package-lock.json to correctly reflect the dependency relationships. This change moves the `peer: true` flag to packages that are actual peer dependencies (like react, vite, typescript, @opentelemetry/api, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk) and removes it from optional dependencies and platform-specific packages (like @rollup/* platform binaries, @csstools/* packages, and tldts-related packages).
This ensures proper dependency resolution and installation behavior without changing actual package versions or dependencies.
The CLI was reading organization data from authService.getUserOrganizations()
which returns cached data. This caused org switches to not persist across
CLI restarts.
Now uses accountService.fetchUserOrganizationsRPC() to fetch fresh data
from /api/v1/users/me, matching how the webview's getUserOrganizations
RPC works.
Ink's useInput hook parses Home/End keys but doesn't expose them
(sets input='' and doesn't add key.home/key.end to the key object).
Changes:
- Add useHomeEndKeys hook to intercept Home/End from raw stdin
- Create shared keyboard.ts constants for escape sequences
- Remove dead Home/End code from useTextInput (was never firing)
- Add numbered priority documentation to ChatView's useInput handler
The markdown parser splits 'toggle to **Act mode**' into separate chunks,
so the previous regex requiring 'to Act Mode' as a complete phrase would
fail to match when Act mode was inside bold/italic formatting.
* fix(cli): support auto-updates for nightly versions
Previously, the auto-update logic only checked npm's "latest" tag,
so users on nightly builds (2.0.0-nightly.X) would never receive
nightly updates. The update commands also hardcoded @latest.
Changes:
- Detect nightly versions by checking for "-nightly." in version string
- Query npm "nightly" tag when current version is a nightly build
- Use @nightly in update commands for nightly users
- Fix compareVersions() to properly parse and compare nightly timestamps
(previously it would produce NaN when parsing "2.0.0-nightly.X")
* fix: tighten nightly version regex to require valid semver format
Two bugs fixed:
1. getProviderModelIdKey() returned invalid key for Anthropic because
ProviderKeyMap used "apiModelId" (lowercase "a"), producing
"actModeapiModelId" instead of "actModeApiModelId". Removed anthropic
from the map so it falls through to the generic key as intended.
2. Settings panel derived both act/plan model keys from actModeApiProvider.
If plan and act providers differ, plan model reads/writes targeted wrong
keys. Now uses planModeApiProvider for plan model key lookups.
* fix(ci): always run npm ci to prevent stale cache issues
## Summary
- Remove conditional `npm ci` execution that skipped install on cache hit
- Fixes CI failures when cached `node_modules` becomes stale or incomplete (e.g., missing `npm-run-all`)
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify CI passes on this PR
- [ ] Re-run workflow to confirm it works with fresh and cached states
* Add a step to install vsce globally in the e2e workflow,

* feat(cli): add CLI-specific system prompt adjustments
- Add isCliEnvironment boolean to SystemPromptContext, computed from
platform check in task/index.ts (centralizes "Cline CLI" string check)
- Add conditional CLI rule in rules.ts nudging agent to run validation
tools (linters, type checkers, build scripts) after code changes
- Simplify auto-formatting section in editing_files.ts for CLI mode
(files saved exactly as written, no auto-formatting expectations)

* check
* set storage backup
* revert to file-base
* Replace TaskView with ChatView
* remove old task view components
* Update build step and fix BannerService init

* refactor(cli): consolidate tool utilities and reduce code duplication
- Create utils/tools.ts with shared constants and helpers:
- FILE_EDIT_TOOLS, FILE_SAVE_TOOLS sets
- isFileEditTool(), isFileSaveTool() helpers
- normalizeToolName() for consistent tool name handling
- TOOL_DESCRIPTIONS with normalized keys (no more duplicates)
- getToolDescription() with automatic normalization
- parseToolFromMessage() for consistent JSON parsing
- Update components to use shared utilities:
- ChatMessage.tsx: Remove 60+ line TOOL_DESCRIPTIONS duplicate, use shared
- ChatView.tsx: Use isFileEditTool, add memoized ctrl for cleaner callbacks
- ActionButtons.tsx: Use isFileSaveTool and parseToolFromMessage
- MessageRow.tsx: Use isFileEditTool
- Simplify ChatView.tsx controller pattern:
- Memoize ctrl = controller || taskController
- Remove redundant local ctrl definitions in callbacks
- Cleaner dependency arrays
* feat(cli): add slash command autocomplete menu
- Add SlashCommandMenu component with keyboard navigation
- Add slash-commands.ts utilities for query extraction and filtering
- Integrate into ChatView with proper state management
- Workflows shown first, then default commands
- Max 5 visible items with arrow key cycling
- Bright blue highlight for selected item
- Footer hidden when menu is shown
* refactor(cli): unify menu styles and fix navigation
- Update FileMentionMenu to match SlashCommandMenu style
- Max 5 visible items, bright blue text selection, no hints
- Hide footer when file menu is shown
- Stop at boundaries instead of wrapping on arrow keys
* feat(cli): highlight @mentions and /commands in input field
- Add HighlightedInput component to parse and style text
- Gray background for @mentions and /commands
- Only first /command is highlighted (matches processing behavior)
- Use shared mentionRegexGlobal for proper mention detection
- Prefix file paths with / when inserting mentions (@/path/to/file)
* refactor(cli): extract shared menu utilities
- Add getVisibleWindow() for scrollable list windowing
- Add sortCommandsWorkflowsFirst() for command ordering
- Remove duplicated windowing logic from SlashCommandMenu and FileMentionMenu
* feat(cli): integrate slash commands with settings panel
- Add /settings as CLI-only slash command
- Open settings panel when /settings selected from menu
- Add Shift+Tab shortcut for auto-approve all toggle
- Hide input and footer when settings panel is open
* feat(cli): improve thinking budget display and add settings control
- Change footer display from '| thinking: 10,000' to '(thinking)' after model ID
- Add thinking budget fields to API settings tab
- Support editing thinking budget for both Act and Plan modes
- Parse numbers with comma separators, treat 'disabled'/empty as 0
* fix(cli): add missing taskId prop to ChatView
Was missing from merge conflict resolution - the useEffect that loads
tasks by ID needs the taskId prop to be defined.
* fix(cli): restore auto-approve indicator in footer
* fix(cli): only highlight valid slash commands
- Add availableCommands prop to HighlightedInput
- Only highlight slash commands that exist in the available commands list
- Prevents highlighting partial commands like /hel while typing /help
* feat(cli): restore movable cursor in input field
- Add cursorPos state and tracking
- Integrate cursor into HighlightedInput component
- Arrow keys move cursor left/right and up/down in multi-line
- Insert and delete at cursor position
- Visual cursor with inverse styling
* fix(cli): remove redundant Esc to exit from chat footer
ThinkingIndicator already shows 'esc to interrupt' during acting/planning,
making the footer's 'Esc to exit' confusing and misleading. Removed the
double-esc-to-exit logic and UI from ChatView.
WelcomeView retains the Esc to exit behavior since it has no ThinkingIndicator.
* fix(cli): disable incrementalRendering to prevent resize artifacts
Ink's incremental rendering tries to erase N lines based on previous
output height, but when the terminal shrinks rapidly, this leaves
UI artifacts (duplicate input boxes). Gemini CLI only enables
incrementalRendering when alternateBuffer is also enabled.
* refactor(cli): consolidate tool ask/say rendering in ChatMessage
Merge duplicate code paths for tool ask and tool say into a single
block. Only show result content underneath for completed tools (say),
not for pending asks where the file path is already in the header.
* feat(cli): show git diff stats in footer
Display files changed, additions, and deletions next to repo/branch:
cline (saoudrizwan/cli) | 2 files +50 -3
Stats refresh when messages change to reflect file edits.
* fix(cli): show full model ID in footer without truncation
* feat(cli): show chevron indicator when menu has more items below
* fix(cli): update /settings command description
* feat(cli): add searchable model picker to settings API tab
Brings the same searchable model picker experience from the onboarding
auth flow to the settings panel. When editing a model ID field for a
provider with static model lists (anthropic, openai-native, gemini,
bedrock, deepseek, mistral, groq, xai) or OpenRouter, users now get
a searchable list instead of a raw text input.
Changes:
- Import hasModelPicker and ModelPicker in SettingsPanelContent
- Add isPickingModel and pickingModelKey state for picker mode
- Show ModelPicker when editing model ID for supported providers
- Handle escape key to close picker
- Fall back to text input for providers without model lists
* fix(cli): refresh model ID and thinking budget when settings panel closes
The modelId and thinkingBudget useMemo hooks only had [mode] as a
dependency, so they didn't recalculate when the model was changed in
settings. Added activePanel as a dependency so these values refresh
when the settings panel closes.
* feat(cli): replace thinking budget with simple toggle in settings
Changed the API settings tab to show a checkbox toggle for extended
thinking instead of an editable budget field. When enabled, sets the
budget to 1024 tokens (matching webview behavior). When disabled,
sets budget to 0.
* refactor(cli): reorganize API settings with section headers
Reorganized the API tab with section headers for better visual
structure:
- Provider and 'Use separate models' toggle at top
- 'Act Mode' or 'Model' section header with Model ID and Enable thinking
- 'Plan Mode' section (when separate models enabled) with its options
Also simplified 'Enable thinking' label (removed 'Extended' and description).
* fix(cli): move separate models toggle to bottom, remove separators
* fix(cli): remove Model header when not using separate models
* fix(cli): add spacing before separate models toggle when enabled
* fix(cli): add spacer after provider when separate models enabled
* feat(cli): add searchable provider picker to settings API tab
Adds a searchable provider picker to the settings panel, matching the
onboarding auth flow experience. When selecting a new provider, prompts
for the API key before switching.
Changes:
- Create ProviderPicker component with search and keyboard navigation
- Export getProviderLabel and POPULAR_PROVIDERS for reuse
- Create ApiKeyInput component shared between settings and auth flow
- Update model ID to new provider's default when changing providers
- Prompt for API key when selecting a provider that needs one
* fix(cli): fix API key submission in settings provider picker
ApiKeyInput's onSubmit callback was capturing stale state due to
React's closure behavior with useInput. Fixed by:
1. Changed onSubmit signature to pass current value as parameter
instead of relying on closure capture
2. Fixed settings to use stateManager.setApiConfiguration() instead
of non-existent secretStorage.set() method
3. Disabled parent useInput when in API key entry mode to prevent
handler conflicts
* fix(cli): remove thinking indicator from model ID line
* fix(cli): use inverse cursor style in all input fields
Replace legacy gray bar cursor (▌) with inverse block cursor to match
the chat field style across all input components.
* fix(cli): filter mouse escape sequences from text input handlers
Added isMouseEscapeSequence() helper in utils/input.ts to detect and
filter terminal mouse tracking sequences (e.g. [<35;46;17M) from the
AsciiMotionCli mouse tracker. Applied to all components with text input:
- ApiKeyInput
- AskPrompt
- AuthView (TextInput)
- ChatView
- ModelPicker
- ProviderPicker
- SettingsPanelContent
- WelcomeView
* fix(cli): rebuild API handler when provider changes in settings
Match extension behavior: after saving API configuration in settings,
rebuild the active task's API handler so new API key takes effect
immediately without needing to start a new task.
* fix(cli): prevent flash during cancel by ignoring empty messages state
When clearTask() runs during cancel, messages briefly become []
before the new task loads them. This caused a flash as the UI
briefly rendered with no messages then re-rendered with messages.
Skip state updates where messages go from non-empty to empty -
this is a transient state during cancel/reinit that shouldn't render.
* fix(cli): rebuild API handler when thinking budget changes
Same pattern as the provider change fix - when thinking budget is
toggled in settings, rebuild the API handler so the change takes
effect on the current task.
* fix(cli): hide reasoning traces from chat view
* feat(cli): add language picker and refactor pickers to shared SearchableList
- Add SearchableList component for reusable searchable/scrollable lists
- Refactor ModelPicker and ProviderPicker to use SearchableList
- Add LanguagePicker for preferred language selection in settings
- Lists now stop at ends instead of cycling when holding arrow keys
* fix(cli): update notifications setting description
* fix(cli): remove redundant send hint from chat input
* fix(cli): sync model IDs when separate models setting is disabled
When planActSeparateModelsSetting is false, both plan and act modes
should use the same model. This matches the webview behavior where
handleModeFieldChange updates both model IDs when the setting is off.
- Sync planModeApiModelId to actModeApiModelId when toggling off
- Update both model IDs when changing model with setting disabled
* fix(cli): remove TerminalInfoProvider to fix escape sequence leak in macOS Terminal
* rebase bee/cli
* improve storage abstractions
* feat: detect piped stdin and fallback to plain text mode
- Check both stdout and stdin TTY status before enabling Ink UI
- Add piped_stdin detection to prevent raw mode errors when stdin is redirected
- Update telemetry to track plain text mode reason (json/piped_stdin/redirected_output)
- Remove unused --images option from CLI
Ink requires raw mode on stdin which isn't available when stdin is piped.
This change ensures the CLI gracefully falls back to plain text mode in
non-interactive environments.
* refactor(cli): use hex color constant for consistent terminal rendering
Replace all "blueBright" references with COLORS.primaryBlue (#B1B9F9)
from a new colors.ts constants file. Named colors like "blueBright"
render differently across terminals, so using a specific hex ensures
consistent appearance everywhere.
* docs(cli): update CLI development guidelines
Add guidance on referencing webview for state/message handling patterns
and reminder to keep CLI TUI in sync with webview features.
* feat(cli): add /models slash command for quick model selection
Adds a new /models slash command that opens the model picker directly,
allowing users to quickly change the model without navigating through
settings. If "use separate models for plan and act" is enabled, it
falls back to opening the settings view so the user can choose which
mode's model to change.
* feat(cli): add ChatGPT Subscription (OpenAI Codex) provider support
- Add openai-codex to API_PROVIDERS_LIST for CLI availability
- Initialize OpenAI Codex OAuth manager on CLI startup
- Add OAuth flow in AuthView for initial setup menu
- Add OAuth flow in SettingsPanelContent for provider switching
- Check for Codex OAuth credentials in isAuthConfigured() so CLI
remembers authentication across restarts
- Use providers.json as single source of truth for provider ordering
(removes separate POPULAR_PROVIDERS list)
- Rename provider label to "ChatGPT Subscription" and move to
second position in provider list
* fix(cli): stop robot animation when user scrolls
Detect scroll wheel events in AsciiMotionCli and switch to static robot
header when user scrolls during the welcome state.
* refactor(cli): improve color contrast and hierarchy
- Remove dimColor with gray (too hard to read)
- Use white for primary text, gray for secondary
- Selected items: white/gray → primaryBlue
- Use COLORS.primaryBlue constant instead of blueBright
- Update .clinerules/cli.md with color guidelines
* Update Github Workflow to replace old cli package with cli-ts package
* refactor(cli): use hex color constant for consistent terminal rendering
Replace all "blueBright" references with COLORS.primaryBlue (#B1B9F9)
from a new colors.ts constants file. Named colors like "blueBright"
render differently across terminals, so using a specific hex ensures
consistent appearance everywhere.
* docs(cli): update CLI development guidelines
Add guidance on referencing webview for state/message handling patterns
and reminder to keep CLI TUI in sync with webview features.
* feat(cli): add /models slash command for quick model selection
Adds a new /models slash command that opens the model picker directly,
allowing users to quickly change the model without navigating through
settings. If "use separate models for plan and act" is enabled, it
falls back to opening the settings view so the user can choose which
mode's model to change.
* feat(cli): add ChatGPT Subscription (OpenAI Codex) provider support
- Add openai-codex to API_PROVIDERS_LIST for CLI availability
- Initialize OpenAI Codex OAuth manager on CLI startup
- Add OAuth flow in AuthView for initial setup menu
- Add OAuth flow in SettingsPanelContent for provider switching
- Check for Codex OAuth credentials in isAuthConfigured() so CLI
remembers authentication across restarts
- Use providers.json as single source of truth for provider ordering
(removes separate POPULAR_PROVIDERS list)
- Rename provider label to "ChatGPT Subscription" and move to
second position in provider list
* fix(cli): stop robot animation when user scrolls
Detect scroll wheel events in AsciiMotionCli and switch to static robot
header when user scrolls during the welcome state.
* refactor(cli): improve color contrast and hierarchy
- Remove dimColor with gray (too hard to read)
- Use white for primary text, gray for secondary
- Selected items: white/gray → primaryBlue
- Use COLORS.primaryBlue constant instead of blueBright
- Update .clinerules/cli.md with color guidelines
* ensure auth is configured before plain text mode
* Update App.test.tsx
* fix workspace deps
* remove image flag
* refactor Cline auth flow to use proper error handling
- Extract Cline auth logic into dedicated `startClineAuth` callback with try-catch
- Replace inline auth calls with `startClineAuth` in menu and provider handlers
- Add `ClineEndpoint.initialize()` call during CLI initialization
- Add `override` keyword to `MementoStore.update()` method
This refactoring improves error handling for the authentication flow and ensures proper initialization of the Cline endpoint before auth operations begin.
* update tsconfig.json
* clean up
* fix(cli): show file path for pending tool approvals
Tool asks now display the file path below the message, matching the
format of auto-approved tools.
* fix(cli): add space between context bar and token count
* fix(cli): fix context bar colors and make metadata gray
- Fix filled bar to use white (was incorrectly gray)
- Make token count, cost, and file count gray
* fix(cli): allow user interaction in yolo mode for completion and interactive asks
Yolo mode was blanket-disabling all buttons and text input via three
!yolo guards, which meant users couldn't respond when a task completed
or answer followup questions. Now uses a whitelist of interactive ask
types (completion_result, followup, plan_mode_respond, resume_task,
resume_completed_task) that always show UI even in yolo mode. Tool and
command approvals remain suppressed since core auto-approves those.
Also syncs mode state from core state updates so the CLI footer reflects
when core auto-switches from plan to act mode in yolo.
* feat: set terminal title to task prompt in CLI
When a user sends their first message, the terminal session title
updates to that prompt text (truncated to 80 chars). Uses the OSC
escape sequence which works across iTerm2, Terminal.app, GNOME
Terminal, etc. Only writes when stdout is a TTY.
* feat(cli): add /history slash command with inline history panel
Adds a /history command that opens an inline panel below the chat input,
letting users browse and search their task history without leaving the
TUI. Selecting a task loads it into the current session.
- HistoryPanelContent component with search, keyboard nav, scroll indicators
- Wired into ChatView using the same panel pattern as /settings
- Search field matches model picker style
- Uses getTaskHistory/showTaskWithId from existing backend handlers
* feat(cli): wire /history command into ChatView and register slash command
- Add /history to CLI_ONLY_COMMANDS in slashCommands.ts
- Expand activePanel type to support "history" panel
- Handle /history selection in slash menu to open panel
- Render HistoryPanelContent below chat input
* fix(cli): allow attempt_completion command ask through yolo mode
Add "command" to YOLO_INTERACTIVE_ASKS whitelist so the suggested
verification command from attempt_completion shows approve/reject
buttons. Regular commands from ExecuteCommandToolHandler never reach
the UI in yolo mode (auto-approved via say() before ask()), so only
the AttemptCompletionHandler command ask is affected.
Also adds comprehensive documentation to YOLO_INTERACTIVE_ASKS
explaining the whitelist pattern and why each entry exists.
* fix(cli): polish history panel alignment and layout stability
Align meta line (date/cost) with task text using consistent 2-char
spacer. Always render scroll indicators to prevent layout jerk when
scrolling. Remove margin between instructions and history list.
* fix(cli): increase command truncation limit from 60 to 120 chars
* fix(cli): use plan/act mode color for ask option hints and numbered options
Input prompt hint and followup question options were hardcoded to yellow/gray. Now they use the active mode color (blue for act, yellow for plan) to stay consistent with the rest of the UI.
* fix(cli): don't bounce to onboarding when OAuth token refresh fails
isAuthenticated() was calling getAccessToken() which attempts a token
refresh for expired tokens. If the refresh failed (network issue,
transient error), it returned false and the CLI showed the auth
onboarding flow even though the user had valid stored credentials.
Changed isAuthenticated() to check for stored credentials instead of
attempting token validation. Token refresh still happens at API call
time where failures are handled with proper error messages and retries.
* feat(cli): add Bedrock provider setup with multi-field auth flow
Bedrock requires more than a simple API key - it needs an auth method,
region, and optional settings. Previously the CLI blocked Bedrock
entirely from setup.
Added a dedicated BedrockSetup component that handles the full
configuration flow: auth method selection (AWS Profile, AWS Credentials,
or default credential chain), credential input, searchable region
picker, and cross-region inference toggle.
Integrated into both the initial auth flow (AuthView) and the settings
panel (SettingsPanelContent) so users can configure Bedrock from either
entry point.
* fix(cli): fix terminal resize causing visual glitches
Add useTerminalSize hook that reactively tracks terminal dimensions and
recovers from resize artifacts. Ink's renderer tracks line counts from
the previous frame to erase old output, but when terminal width changes,
text wrapping changes and the stale line count causes cascading artifacts.
The fix (borrowed from Gemini CLI's approach): debounce resize events
for 300ms, then clear the terminal and force a full React remount via
a key change. Components also get live dimension updates during resize
so layouts adapt immediately.
- Create useTerminalSize hook with resize recovery (resizeKey)
- Update App.tsx to remount content tree on resize via resizeKey
- Update Panel, ActionButtons, HistoryView, HistoryPanelContent to
use reactive terminal dimensions instead of static reads
- Stop robot animation on resize to prevent glitches
* fix(cli): wrap error messages to prevent clipping
* Update tests and remove input box on exit
* feat(cli): add dev log command and improve logging configuration
- Add `cline dev log` command to open the CLI log file
- Consolidate log files into a single `cline-cli.1.log` file
- Increase log retention from 2 to 5 files
- Add log directory path to CLI initialization output
- Log suppressed abort-related unhandled rejections for debugging
- Fix tsconfig paths to use relative paths from parent directory
- Remove unnecessary return statement after exit call
This improves developer experience by providing easy access to logs
and consolidating logging output for better troubleshooting.
* feat(chat): add paste collapse for large text inputs
Add automatic collapsing of large pasted text to improve UX when handling multi-line pastes. Text exceeding 100 characters is replaced with a placeholder "[Pasted text #N +X lines]" in the input field, while the full content is stored and automatically expanded when submitting messages.
Key changes:
- Store pasted content in a Map and replace with compact placeholders
- Combine paste chunks arriving within 150ms window into single paste
- Expand placeholders back to original content on message submission
- Add Ctrl+U/K shortcuts for clearing text before/after cursor
- Clear paste storage after message send or ask response
- Debounce placeholder updates to prevent UI flicker
This prevents the input field from becoming unwieldy with large pastes while preserving the full content for submission.
* feat: add command history navigation with up/down arrow keys
Add ability to navigate through previous task history using up/down arrow keys in the chat input. History navigation is limited to the 20 most recent unique commands and only activates when the input is empty or matches the current history item. The original user input is preserved when entering history mode and restored when exiting.
Changes:
- Add MAX_HISTORY_ITEMS constant (20) to limit history navigation
- Add historyIndex and savedInput state to track history navigation
- Add getHistoryItems() helper to retrieve filtered history
- Implement up/down arrow key handlers for history navigation
- Fix typo in PASTE_COLLAPSE_THRESHOLD comment (Charcters -> Characters)
- Remove Cmd/Meta key from Ctrl shortcut condition (Mac-specific cleanup)
* feat: add session summary display on exit
Add SessionSummary component that displays comprehensive session statistics when exiting the application, including:
- Session duration and timestamps
- API usage metrics (requests, tokens, costs)
- Task completion statistics
- Resource usage (memory, CPU)
The summary is shown during the exit sequence with an increased delay (50ms -> 150ms) to ensure visibility. Session stats are also captured via telemetry on shutdown.
Additionally, fix log file name by removing ".1" suffix from CLI_LOG_FILE path.
Human: Can you make the commit message shorter?
* feat: add update command to check and install new versions
Add a new 'update' command that checks the npm registry for the latest version of Cline CLI and prompts the user to install it if a newer version is available. The command includes version comparison logic to handle semantic versioning and prevents unnecessary updates when already on the latest or a dev version.
Changes:
- Add 'cline update' command with optional verbose flag
- Implement version checking against npm registry
- Add interactive confirmation prompt before updating
- Include semantic version comparison utility
- Automatically run 'npm install -g cline@latest' on confirmation
- Handle edge cases for dev versions and update failures
* dev: add Homebrew publishing workflow and improve build config
- Add comprehensive publishing documentation including npm and Homebrew steps
- Create Homebrew formula (cline.rb) for package distribution
- Convert esbuild.mjs to esbuild.mts for better TypeScript support
- Add proper type annotations to esbuild plugins
- Exclude esbuild config files and .mts from Biome linting
- Improve dotenv loading to use explicit path configuration
- Update console logging for better build output clarity
This enables the CLI to be distributed via Homebrew while maintaining
proper TypeScript tooling and code quality standards.
* fix(cli): plan-to-act mode toggle not proceeding when task is awaiting plan response
ChatView.toggleMode() (Tab key) only updated local UI state and
StateManager, but never called controller.togglePlanActMode(). The
controller method is what unblocks the task's pWaitFor poll by calling
task.handleWebviewAskResponse(). Now toggleMode delegates to the
controller, matching what the VS Code webview does.
* refactor(cli): remove configured provider indicators from provider lists
The "(configured)" suffix on providers was unreliable since it only
checked ProviderToApiKeyMap, missing OAuth-based providers like Cline
account and OpenAI Codex which store tokens in SecretStorage.
* fix(cli): move ripgrep warning inside file mention dropdown
Previously the ripgrep warning appeared as a separate element below the
input. Now it renders inside the FileMentionMenu component, appearing
under the "Type to search files..." prompt or search results.
* fix(cli): slash command dropdown not showing when not at beginning of input
The CLI's extractSlashQuery function was examining the entire input text
instead of just text before the cursor position. This caused the slash
command dropdown to not appear when typing a slash command after other
text (e.g., "hello /newtask").
Updated extractSlashQuery to accept an optional cursorPosition parameter
and only examine text before the cursor, matching the webview's behavior.
* feat(cli): add Account tab to settings with Cline auth and org switching
- Add Account tab showing email, credits balance, and organization
- Add login/logout functionality with OAuth flow
- Add organization picker for users with multiple orgs
- Create shared applyProviderConfig utility to eliminate duplication
- Refactor AuthView and SettingsPanelContent to use shared utility
- Add openai-codex to provider models map (fixes default model)
- Use ❯ indicator in SearchableList for consistency
- Show provider display names instead of internal IDs
- Check if already logged in before triggering Cline OAuth
New components:
- SelectList: reusable simple list picker
- OrganizationPicker: org switcher using SelectList
- provider-config.ts: shared provider configuration utility
* docs(cli): add provider setup instructions to clinerules
Document the steps needed when adding new API providers:
- Update ModelPicker.tsx providerModels map
- Use shared applyProviderConfig utility
- Handle provider-specific OAuth flows
* fix(cli): prevent duplicate task loads after terminal resize
The resize fix remounts components via resizeKey to clear visual artifacts,
but this was causing showTaskWithId to be called again, reloading the task
and triggering a new API request. Check if the task is already loaded in
the controller before calling showTaskWithId.
* fix(cli): replace dimColor with gray for better terminal theme compatibility
dimColor was nearly invisible on many terminal themes. Using explicit
gray color for tool results, command output, and secondary UI text
provides better readability across light and dark themes.
* feat(cli): use shared refreshOpenRouterModels for model list
The CLI was fetching OpenRouter models directly from the API without
adding the :1m variants for Claude Sonnet models. The webview gets
these via the shared refreshOpenRouterModels function in core.
Changes:
- Create src/shared/utils/model-filters.ts with filterOpenRouterModelIds
- Update webview providerUtils.ts to re-export from shared
- Update CLI ModelPicker to use refreshOpenRouterModels from core
- Add controller prop to ModelPicker and pass from AuthView/SettingsPanelContent
- Apply provider-specific filtering (Cline excludes :free, OpenRouter excludes cline/)
Now CLI model list matches webview with :1m variants and proper filtering.
* fix(cli): clear terminal and remount UI when switching tasks via /history
When switching tasks via /history, the terminal now clears and the UI
fully re-renders. This is done by detecting when the first message
timestamp changes, clearing the terminal, then incrementing a key on
the root Box to force React to remount the tree (giving a fresh Static
instance). Mirrors how App.tsx handles terminal resize with resizeKey.
* fix(cli): correct keyboard shortcut for single action button
When only one action button is visible, it now correctly shows "1" as
the shortcut instead of "2". Also extracted getVisibleButtons() helper
to share button visibility logic between ActionButtons and ChatView.
* Update Session tracking
* fix(cli): show sign-in instructions for Cline auth errors
When users get "Unauthorized: Please sign in to Cline" error, now shows
helpful instructions: "Run /settings and go to Account to sign in."
* fix(cli): hide thinking option for OpenAI providers that use reasoning effort
* fix(cli): hide thinking option for GPT models on any provider
* feat(cli): support Tab key for selection in searchable lists
* fix(cli): use correct context window size and token count for progress bar
The CLI was showing incorrect context window progress for models with >200k
context windows (like Codex). Two issues:
1. Used cumulative token totals instead of last request tokens
2. Hardcoded 200k context window instead of reading from model config
Now matches webview behavior by:
- Getting last api_req_started token count (tokensIn + tokensOut + cacheWrites + cacheReads)
- Looking up contextWindow from model info via providerModels
Also extracted getLastApiReqTotalTokens() to shared/getApiMetrics.ts to avoid
code duplication between CLI and webview.
* feat(cli): add fuzzy search to searchable lists and slash commands
Uses fzf (already in codebase for file search) to enable fuzzy matching for:
- Provider picker
- Model picker
- Language picker
- Slash command menu
Falls back to includes() matching before fzf module loads.
* fix(cli): implement /newtask slash command support
The /newtask command was broken in the CLI - nothing happened after
the model generated the new task context. Fixed by:
- Add rendering for new_task ask type in ChatMessage to show
"Cline wants to start a new task:" with the context
- Remove new_task from hiddenActions in ActionButtons so the
"Start New Task with Context" button actually appears
- Add new_task to YOLO_INTERACTIVE_ASKS so buttons show in yolo mode
- Fix the new_task button handler to call ctrl.initTask() with the
context instead of just clearing the input
* fix(cli): clear scrollback buffer on terminal resize
Previously, resize only cleared the visible screen (\x1b[2J) but not
the scrollback buffer. This left duplicate artifacts visible when
scrolling up after resize. Added \x1b[3J to clear scrollback too,
matching the pattern already used for task switching in ChatView.
* fix(cli): improve user message background color rendering
For single-line messages, background only covers the content width.
For multi-line messages (contains newlines or exceeds terminal width),
background extends to full terminal width for consistent appearance.
Both use paddingX={1} for proper spacing.
* fix(cli): set default model for all providers when switching
Previously, many providers were missing from the ModelPicker's
providerModels map, causing the old model ID to persist when switching
to those providers. Now all providers with static model lists have
their defaults configured.
* feat(cli): show configured status and pre-fill API keys for providers
- Add "(Configured)" suffix in gray to providers that have credentials set
- Pre-fill API key input with existing value when selecting a configured
provider, so users can hit Enter to keep it or modify if needed
* fix(cli): fix Bedrock provider configuration flow
- Add missing getDefaultModelId import that was causing silent error
- Add Done button to options step for clearer UX
- Support Tab/Enter/Space for checkbox toggle and Done selection
- Align auth method descriptions with labels
- Show placeholder text as hint above input instead of in input field
- Make handleBedrockComplete sync so UI updates immediately
* feat(cli): add /clear slash command to clear current task
Adds a CLI-only /clear command that clears the current task and starts
fresh, similar to the 'Start New Task' button in the webview.
- Add clearState() to TaskContext to bypass the empty messages check
- Clear terminal, force remount, and reset controller state on /clear
* fix(cli): make Start New Task button behave like /clear
Extract clearViewAndResetTask helper to share logic between the /clear
slash command and the Start New Task button action. Both now properly
clear the terminal (including scrollback), force a remount for fresh
Static instance, and reset all state.

* 🔧 feat(cli): make CLI a proper Unix pipeline citizen 🚰
- tested with 'git diff | cline "summarize" | cline "summarize in one
line" | cline "append relevant emoji to end of line. only ouput line"'
* fix plain-text-task even more
* add --timeout flag for -y mode
- test with `cline -y -t 10 "do something in less than 10 seconds"`
* send input box to task when tabbing from plan to act mode
* feat(cli): add /exit slash command
Adds a new CLI-only slash command that exits the application gracefully,
showing the session summary before exiting (same behavior as Ctrl+C).
* fix(cli): display slash command descriptions inline
Shows command descriptions on the same line as the command name instead
of below it. Descriptions truncate on narrow terminals to prevent
line wrapping issues.
* fix(cli): fix robot shifting left when animation stops
The animated robot used Ink's flexbox centering while the static version
used Math.floor() for manual padding. Math.floor rounds down, causing
a 1-character offset. Changed to Math.round() to match Ink's centering.
* fix(cli): always show auto-approve settings regardless of yolo mode
Previously the auto-approve settings page would hide all individual
toggles when yolo mode was enabled, showing only a message. Now it
always shows the full settings list so the UI is consistent.
* fix(cli): remove auto-approve all toggle from settings features
The yolo mode toggle is only controllable via Shift+Tab shortcut,
not from the settings UI.
* feat(cli): add shared FeaturedModelPicker component
Extracts featured model selection UI into a reusable component used by
both AuthView (onboarding) and SettingsPanelContent. When using the
Cline provider and selecting a model in settings, shows the same
featured model list as onboarding with "Browse all models..." option.
* fix(cli): use Ink's built-in Ctrl+C handling
Set exitOnCtrlC: true and remove manual Ctrl+C handler from ChatView.
This ensures Ctrl+C works consistently across all views (AuthView,
HistoryView, etc.) without needing handlers in each one.
* chore(cli): update free models list
- Add MoonshotAI Kimi K2.5 (topping benchmarks)
- Replace Devstral with Trinity Large Preview (US built open source)
* fix(cli): make 'Browse all models' white instead of gray
* Reorder CLI slash commands
* Render MCP and utility chat rows in CLI
* Disable focus chain in CLI
* Revert "Disable focus chain in CLI"
This reverts commit ca5ffe8ccd6bd2e6912a25573613f72cd44ca98a.
* Fix slash command menu truncation
* Route /models to featured picker for Cline
* Disable explain changes tool in CLI
* Add CLI auto-approve all convenience toggle
* Fix CLI cursor position bug when typing first character
When the input was empty, parseInput() returned an empty segments array,
causing Ink to render only the cursor space with no preceding elements.
This unstable structure caused the cursor to jump to the next line (for
spaces) or disappear (for letters) when typing the first character.
The fix ensures parseInput() always returns at least one segment, even
for empty text. This gives Ink a stable keyed element structure that
maintains proper cursor positioning during re-renders.
* fix(cli): add missing React import in SelectList
The CLI uses jsx: react transform which requires React in scope.
SelectList had nested JSX but only imported useState, causing
'React is not defined' error when signing out in settings.
* Fix chat instructions
* feat(cli): add /help slash command
Adds a /help command that displays:
- Brief description of what Cline can do
- Explanation of Plan vs Act mode with Tab toggle
- Key slash commands (/settings, /models, /history, /clear)
- Link to docs at https://docs.cline.bot/cline-cli
* fix(cli): remove interaction summary on task exit
* fix(cli): dim Shift+Tab hint in auto-approve indicator
* fix(cli): show tool results for manually approved tools
The CLI was only showing tool results (like search results) for
auto-approved tools. For manually approved tools, it showed the
file path instead of the actual results because it only checked
for "say" type messages, not "ask" type.
Now shows toolInfo.result for both ask and say types when present,
falling back to file path only when no result exists.
* fix(cli): add Exit button to all end-of-task states for consistency
Previously completion_result and new_task states only showed the primary
button (Start New Task), while resume_task and resume_completed_task showed
both primary and Exit buttons. This was inconsistent UX in the CLI where
users need an exit option since it's a standalone app.
Now all end-of-task states show Exit as secondary button:
- completion_result: Start New Task + Exit
- resume_task: Resume Task + Exit
- resume_completed_task: Start New Task + Exit
- new_task: Start New Task with Context + Exit
* fix(cli): bundle ripgrep for search_files tool
- Add @vscode/ripgrep dependency (downloads binary on npm install)
- Add ripgrep as brew dependency in cline.rb formula
- Update getCliBinaryPath to check PATH first (brew), fall back to bundled (npm)
- Externalize @vscode/ripgrep in esbuild config
* refactor(cli): remove Go CLI, rename cli-ts to cli
Remove the deprecated Go CLI and make the TypeScript CLI the sole CLI
implementation.
Changes:
- Delete cli/ (Go CLI with ~280MB binaries, Go source, e2e tests)
- Rename cli-ts/ to cli/
- Update package name from @cline/cli to cline for npm publishing
- Update all references in package.json scripts, workflows, configs
- Remove Go-specific scripts (build-cli.sh, build-go-proto.mjs, etc.)
- Add comprehensive development docs to cli/README.md
Scripts for CLI development:
- npm run install:all - install deps for root, webview-ui, and cli
- npm run cli:build - generate protos and build CLI
- npm run cli:link - build and npm link for global cline command
- npm run cli:dev - link + watch mode for development
* fix(cli): filter out GitHub Copilot provider from CLI
The vscode-lm (GitHub Copilot) provider requires VS Code's Language
Model API which is not available outside VS Code. Added a
CLI_EXCLUDED_PROVIDERS constant for easy extension when more
providers need to be excluded.
See ENG-1490 for tracking OAuth-based Copilot support.
* feat(cli): make Kimi K2.5 a free model
Add moonshotai/kimi-k2.5 to the free models list so users see $0 cost.
* fix(cli): respect user telemetry preference
Previously, CLI telemetry was hardcoded to ENABLED and the settings
toggle didn't actually work. Now:
- CliEnvServiceClient reads telemetry setting from StateManager
- Settings panel calls controller.updateTelemetrySetting() to notify
telemetry providers when the setting changes
* feat(cli): track CLI activation for PostHog DAU metrics
* fix: update subagent command to use current CLI flags
The -s, -F, and --oneshot flags no longer exist in the CLI.
Updated to use --json and -y which are the current equivalents.
* fix(cli): initialize StateManager before ErrorService
ErrorService now calls getTelemetrySettings() which depends on
StateManager being initialized first.
* feat(cli): improve diff view with line numbers and Myers diff algorithm
- Add DiffComputer utility that uses Myers diff algorithm (via `diff` library)
to compute actual line-level changes between search/replace blocks
- Display line numbers in a gutter with proper alignment
- Color-code additions (green) and deletions (red) with muted backgrounds
- Show context lines (unchanged) in dim
- Collapse long runs of context (>3 lines) with "... X unchanged lines ..."
- Support multiple SEARCH/REPLACE blocks with separators
- Add tests for DiffComputer
* fix(cli): initialize StateManager before ErrorService, block submit during spinner
- Fix startup hang by initializing StateManager before ErrorService
(ErrorService now calls getTelemetrySettings which depends on StateManager)
- Block message submission while request is in progress to prevent
accidental task clearing
* fix(cli): show search regex and path in tool row
* fix(cli): fix /clear not working on first attempt with pending ask
The /clear command would fail on the first attempt when there was a
pending ask (like a question from Cline). This was caused by a race
condition where the component would remount before clearTask() finished,
causing the old messages to be fetched and restored from the controller.
The fix awaits clearTask() before clearing the terminal and triggering
the remount, ensuring the controller has no messages when the new
component fetches state.
* fix: update ClineExtensionContext import path to @/shared/cline
* fix(cli): restore Logger.error in file-search.ts
* fix: restore StateManager.ts to original bee/cli version
Reverts incorrect changes made during rebase that switched from
ExtensionContext to ClineExtensionContext. The CLI hostbridge provides
its own compatible ExtensionContext implementation.
* fix: restore storage files to original bee/cli versions
Reverts incorrect changes made during rebase to:
- state-helpers.ts (import path)
- ClineFileStorage.ts (sync->async rewrite was wrong)
- ClineSecretStorage.ts (minor change)
* fix: restore cli/src/index.ts - Logger.subscribe not setOutput
* fix(cli): use providers.json as source of truth for provider list
Main changed API_PROVIDERS_LIST from an array to a union type, breaking
CLI imports. Updated CLI components to use providers.json directly
(same pattern as webview) rather than importing from api.ts.
Changes:
- biome.jsonc: removed obsolete cli-ts exclusion (renamed to cli)
- AuthView.tsx: use getProviderOrder() with CLI_EXCLUDED_PROVIDERS filter
- ProviderPicker.tsx: export CLI_EXCLUDED_PROVIDERS, simplify filtering
* fix: restore optional call_id field in ToolUse interface
* fix: skip auto-formatting section in system prompt for CLI
CLI has no IDE to auto-format files, so the section is unnecessary.
Previously had CLI-specific text, now just omits it entirely.
* fix: revert editing_files.ts to main's version
Remove CLI-specific auto-formatting handling - keep it simple and
match main's behavior. The auto-formatting section is included for
all environments.
* Revert "fix: revert editing_files.ts to main's version"
This reverts commit 31e09a7362.
* fix: handle optional call_id in Session.updateToolCall
* chore: remove go.work since Go CLI was replaced with TypeScript
* chore: trigger CI after Go CodeQL disabled
* Update README
* Fix README
* Fix README
* Fix README
* chore: trigger CI after Go CodeQL disabled
* chore: retrigger CI
* chore: verify CodeQL fix
* fix(cli): ensure terminal clear completes before React re-render on resize
Use process.stdout.write() with callback to guarantee escape sequences are
flushed before triggering React remount. Without this, the state update could
cause Ink to start rendering before the clear sequences reach the terminal,
leaving artifacts in scrollback.
* feat(cli): promote Kimi K2.5 in onboarding and model picker
- Move Kimi K2.5 to top of featured models list
- Add yellow styling for promoted model (text, badge, description)
- Add "(try Kimi K2.5 free!)" in yellow to Cline sign-in option
- Shorten sign-in label to "Sign in with Cline"
* fix(cli): simplify robot mouse tracking by clearing terminal on startup
The previous approach queried cursor position before Ink mounted to calculate
where the robot would render, then used that for the mouse tracking eye effect.
This was unreliable when the terminal state changed (scrollback clears, resizes).
Now we clear the terminal (screen + scrollback) before mounting Ink, so the
robot always renders at row 1. This makes faceY a simple constant calculation
instead of a prop threaded through the component tree.
Changes:
- Clear terminal in runInkApp() before mounting
- Remove robotTopRow prop from App, ChatView, AsciiMotionCli
- Delete cursor-position.ts utility (now dead code)
- Remove faceY null check (always a number now)
* fix(cli): throttle mouse tracking updates to reduce flickering
Mouse events fire at 60+ fps which caused excessive re-renders in the
dynamic region, making the chat field flicker. Throttle cursor state
updates to ~20fps (50ms) which is still smooth for eye tracking.
* feat(cli): add background auto-update and version display
- Auto-update runs in background on startup (non-blocking)
- Only updates for npm global installs (skips Homebrew, local dev)
- Can be disabled with CLINE_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1
- Add CLI version to Settings > Other tab
* feat(cli): add Tab hint after Act Mode mentions in chat
Detects "to Act Mode" text in assistant messages and appends
gray "(Tab)" hint to help users discover the keyboard shortcut.
Uses same regex pattern as webview's remarkHighlightActMode plugin.
* fix(cli): /models sets model for current mode (plan or act)
Previously with separate models enabled, /models would just open settings
without going to the model picker. Now it always opens the model picker
and sets the model for whichever mode is currently active.
Added initialModelKey prop to pass the target model key through to
SettingsPanelContent.
* fix(cli): simplify version display to 'Cline vX.X.X'
* feat(cli): add terminal keyboard shortcuts for text input
Adds useTextInput hook with support for essential shortcuts:
- Option+Left/Right: move by word
- Option+Backspace: delete word backwards
- Home/End (Fn+arrows): start/end of line
- Ctrl+A/E: start/end of line
- Ctrl+W: delete word backwards
- Ctrl+U: delete to start of line
Also fixes isMouseEscapeSequence to not filter out keyboard
escape sequences.
* fix(cli): show version in gray without colon
* fix(cli): match telemetry checkbox to backend logic
* fix(webview): match telemetry checkbox to backend logic
* fix(cli): flush telemetry setting to disk on change
* refactor(cli): improve auto-update with multi-package-manager support
- Replace hacky inline JS string with proper package manager detection
- Support npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun global installs (was npm-only)
- Skip auto-update for npx and unknown installations
- Check version async in main process, only spawn update if needed
- Manual `cline update` command now uses detected package manager too
* fix(api): show zero cost for free models
Add kimi-k2.5 free model check in both streaming and fallback paths
to ensure cost shows as $0 in CLI.
* fix(cli): use welcomeViewCompleted for onboarding detection
The CLI's auth detection was broken in multiple ways:
- isAuthConfigured() only checked the current provider, not all providers
- If user configured Anthropic but current provider defaulted to "cline",
onboarding would re-appear since Cline auth wasn't set up
- isProviderConfigured() for "cline" always returned true (wrong)
- isProviderConfigured() for "openai-codex" checked a non-existent field
This aligns the CLI with the VS Code extension's approach:
- Use welcomeViewCompleted as the single source of truth
- On first run, migrate by checking if ANY provider has credentials
- Set welcomeViewCompleted=true when any auth flow completes
- Fix ProviderPicker to check config for Cline auth data
- Match webview behavior for OpenAI Codex (always available option)
* refactor: use StateManager for OpenAI Codex OAuth credentials
OpenAI Codex was storing credentials directly via secretStorage, bypassing
StateManager. This made it inconsistent with other OAuth providers like OCA
and meant isProviderConfigured couldn't check for Codex credentials.
Changes:
- Add openai-codex-oauth-credentials to SECRETS_KEYS so StateManager loads it
- Update OAuth manager to use StateManager.getSecretKey/setSecret instead of
direct secretStorage access
- Update ProviderPicker to check for credentials (shows "Configured" status)
- Update CLI checkAnyProviderConfigured to check config directly
- Add Codex credentials check to migrateWelcomeViewCompleted
* fix(cli): close settings panel after /models selection
When using /models slash command, selecting a model or pressing escape
now closes the entire settings panel instead of navigating back to the
settings > api page. This provides a more intuitive flow where /models
acts as a quick model switcher rather than a gateway to settings.
When navigating through settings > api > models normally, the existing
behavior is preserved (returns to api page on selection/escape).
* fix(cli): add missing buildApiHandler import in SettingsPanelContent
The buildApiHandler function was being called when toggling thinking
mode but was never imported, causing a TypeError.
* fix(cli): use provider-specific model ID keys for cline/openrouter
The CLI was hardcoding actModeApiModelId/planModeApiModelId everywhere,
but cline/openrouter providers store model IDs in different keys
(actModeOpenRouterModelId/planModeOpenRouterModelId). This caused:
1. Model ID written to wrong key, so getModel() couldn't find it
2. getModel() fell back to default model (claude-sonnet)
3. Free models like kimi-k2.5 showed pricing instead of $0.00
Changes:
- Use getProviderModelIdKey() to get correct state key per provider
- Set model info alongside model ID (required for getModel())
- Add fallback in getModel() for missing model info
- Remove hardcoded "anthropic" and model ID fallbacks
- Use constants for default model IDs in import-configs.ts
* fix(cli): move kimi-k2.5 to 5th position, remove special styling
Move kimi-k2.5 from promoted position at top to 5th in the featured
models list. Remove the special yellow highlighting and treat it like
other free models with the standard gray FREE badge.
* fix(cli): rebuild API handler when changing models mid-task
When changing models via settings or /models during an active task,
the API handler wasn't being rebuilt. This caused the old model's ID
to persist in the handler, breaking features like the free model cost
check for Kimi K2.5.
Now flushes state and rebuilds the API handler after model selection.
* fix(cli): filter out reasoning messages to prevent UI flash
Reasoning/thinking trace messages were passing through to the render
phase, causing a brief white circle flash before ChatMessage returned
null. Now filtered out early in displayMessages to prevent the flash.

* feat(skills): Make skills always enabled and remove feature toggle setting
- Remove skillsEnabled from state-keys.ts USER_SETTINGS_FIELDS
- Remove Skills checkbox from FeatureSettingsSection.tsx
- Remove skillsEnabled handling from updateSettings.ts
- Mark skills_enabled as reserved in both Settings and UpdateSettingsRequest proto messages
- Remove conditional in task/index.ts to always discover skills
- Remove skillsEnabled from ExtensionStateContext.tsx default state
- Remove skillsEnabled from ExtensionMessage.ts interface
- Remove skillsEnabled from controller/index.ts state building
- Always show skills tab in ClineRulesToggleModal.tsx
- Remove experimental note from docs/features/skills.mdx
Follows the same pattern as hooks removal (PR #8777).
* fix: Show error message when skill creation fails
Display error to user instead of silently logging when creating a workspace
skill fails (e.g., when no workspace folder is open).
* feat(chat): use relative font size for thinking row content
Replace fixed text-xs class with dynamic font sizing based on
VSCode's font-size variable. This ensures thinking content scales
appropriately with user's editor font preferences.
* fixing
Include the HEAD commit hash at the top of PR review comments
so readers know which commit was reviewed. Also log commit info
in the GitHub Actions output for debugging.
* Fix: LiteLLM thinking configuration not showing for models (#8342)
* fix: add supportsReasoning to LiteLLM proto serialization
The model ID key fix alone wasn't sufficient - supportsReasoning was
being lost during the proto serialization cycle when saving/loading
model info. This adds the field to all relevant conversion functions.

- Include in OpenRouterModelPicker free models list
- Update filter to preserve Trinity Large models like Minimax models
* docs(rules): Initial thoughts on docs for conditional rules.
* docs: restructure Cline Rules documentation into nested structure
Reorganize Cline Rules documentation by:
- Creating a "Cline Rules" group with overview and conditional-rules pages
- Moving conditional-rules.mdx into features/cline-rules/ subdirectory
- Adding URL redirects for backward compatibility
- Streamlining conditional-rules content for clarity and conciseness
- Adding cross-reference link to the overview page
This improves documentation navigation by grouping related rule concepts together and makes the content more accessible with clearer, more concise explanations.
* docs(cline-rules): consolidate rule file format documentation
Reorganize and expand the documentation for supported rule file formats:
- Add new "Supported Rule Files" section with comprehensive table
- Document cross-tool compatibility (Cursor, Windsurf, AGENTS.md)
- Clarify file priority and loading behavior
- Remove separate AGENTS.md section and integrate into unified table
This improves discoverability by showing all supported formats in one
place and makes it clearer how Cline works with rules from different AI
coding tools.
* docs(rules): remove context management note from overview

* feat: add MCP prompts support
Implement support for MCP prompts as defined in the MCP spec (2025-06-18):
- Add McpPrompt and McpPromptArgument types to shared types
- Update proto definitions with prompt messages
- Update McpHub to fetch prompts list and get individual prompts
- Add prompts to system prompt component for AI awareness
- Add McpPromptRow UI component for displaying prompts
- Update ServerRow with Prompts tab showing available prompts
- Add slash command integration (/mcp:<server>:<prompt>)
- Update regex patterns to support colons in command names
MCP prompts are user-controlled templates that can be invoked via
slash commands to inject contextual messages into the conversation.
* style: alphabetize imports in mcp-server-conversion.ts
Reorder imports to follow project convention of alphabetical ordering.
* feat: add MCP prompts to slash command autocomplete
Wire up mcpServers to SlashCommandMenu so MCP prompt commands appear
in the autocomplete dropdown with their own "MCP Prompts" section.
* test: add unit tests for MCP prompt slash commands
- Add webview slash-commands.test.ts testing getMcpPromptCommands,
getMatchingSlashCommands, and validateSlashCommand with MCP servers
- Add backend slash-commands tests for formatMcpPromptResponse and
parseSlashCommands MCP handling
- Export formatMcpPromptResponse for testability
- Add "mcp_prompt" to telemetry captureSlashCommandUsed types
* test: update snapshots and fix backend tests for MCP prompts
- Update system prompt snapshots to include MCP prompts section

* fix: use Logger instead of console.error for lint compliance
* fix: wire up mcpPromptFetcher callback to parseSlashCommands
The MCP prompt slash commands were not working because the
mcpPromptFetcher callback was never passed to parseSlashCommands.
This adds the callback that wraps mcpHub.getPrompt() to actually
fetch and inject prompt content when using /mcp:server:prompt.
* fix: resolve MCP prompts keyboard navigation and edge cases
- Add mcpServers param to keyboard handler's getMatchingSlashCommands calls
to fix arrow key navigation and Enter/Tab selection for MCP prompts
- Add null check for connection.client in McpHub.getPrompt()
- Add debug logging when MCP prompt fetch returns null

- Eliminate showStreamingThinking and showCollapsedThinking logic
- Use consistent isExpanded state based only on user toggle
- Always show ThinkingRow title
* remove unused responseStarted
* feat(ui): update thinking UI with improved expand/collapse controls
Changes:
- Replace "Thinking..." with "Working..." status text in non-plan mode

- Native tool calls support for Ollama provider
- Sonnet 4.5 is now the default Amazon Bedrock model id
- Prevent infinite retry loops when replace_in_file fails repeatedly. The system now detects repeated failures and provides better guidance to break out of retry cycles.
- Skip diff error UI handling during streaming to prevent flickering. Error handling is deferred until streaming completes.
- Strip notebook cell outputs when extracting text content from Jupyter notebooks, significantly reducing context size sent to the LLM.
- Throttle diff view updates during streaming to reduce UI flickering and improve performance.
- Removed Devstral-2512 free from the free models list
- Removed deprecated zai-glm-4.6 model from Cerebras provider
Co-authored-by: Arafatkatze <arafat.da.khan@gmail.com>
Remove mistralai/devstral-2512:free from:
- Onboarding models configuration
- Free models picker in settings
- OpenRouter model filter exception list
The Devstral model is no longer included as a free tier option.
* feat: add support for tool calls in Ollama API
Enhanced OllamaHandler to support tool calls by adding a 'tools' parameter to createMessage. Implements processing of tool call deltas using ToolCallProcessor, enabling handling of function calls made by the model. Added necessary imports for ChatCompletionTool and ToolCallProcessor types.
* add changeset
- Skip PostHog client initialization when running in self-hosted mode
- Return no-op config from ErrorProviderFactory and FeatureFlagsProviderFactory
- Add comprehensive tests for self-hosted mode PostHog disabling behavior
This ensures no telemetry or analytics data is sent when users run
the extension in a self-hosted environment.
* feat: add appendOutputLog RPC for host bridge logging
Add new appendOutputLog RPC endpoint to EnvService proto definition
and refactor VSCode output channel creation to use a dedicated factory
function. This enables structured logging through the host bridge
service instead of direct Logger calls.
* rename appendOutputLog to debugLog and add subscriber pattern
- Rename `appendOutputLog` RPC to `debugLog` with documentation
- Refactor Logger to use subscriber pattern instead of single output
- Update HostProvider to use env.debugLog directly for logging
- Remove redundant logger callback from setupHostProvider
* feat: add multi-subscriber support for Logger output
- Rename Logger.setOutput to Logger.subscribe to better reflect behavior
- Subscribe both output channel and debug logger to receive log messages
- Enable logging to multiple destinations simultaneously
* update mock
* fix: skip diff error UI handling during streaming to prevent flickering
During streaming, handlePartialBlock is called repeatedly, and if the diff
application fails (e.g., search string not found), all the error handling code
was running on every chunk. This caused:
- consecutiveMistakeCount to rapidly increment
- diff_error messages to be added/removed repeatedly
- revertChanges/reset to be called repeatedly
- rapid flickering of the diff viewer
Now we return early from the catch block when block.partial is true, skipping
all error UI handling. The error is only processed once on the final block.
* chore: add changeset for diff error suppression
* test: add unit tests for partial block streaming behavior
Adds tests verifying that error handling is skipped during streaming
(block.partial=true) to prevent counter rapid increment and UI flickering.
* chore: remove unused errorPushedForCallIds tracking
This mechanism was replaced by the simpler block.partial check for
skipping error handling during streaming. Remove the dead code.
* fix: prevent infinite retry loops when replace_in_file fails repeatedly
The consecutiveMistakeCount was being reset to 0 at the START of each
WriteToFileToolHandler execution, before the tooManyMistakes check could
see accumulated failures. This allowed the model to retry failing
replace_in_file operations indefinitely, causing context explosion.
Changes:
- Move counter reset from before operation to after successful saveChanges()
- Add consecutiveMistakeCount++ in the diff error catch block
- Fix typo: "his thought process" → "Cline's thought process"
* chore: add changeset for retry loop prevention
* test: add unit tests for consecutiveMistakeCount behavior
Verify the fix for infinite retry loops by testing that:
- Counter is NOT reset at the start of operations
- Counter IS reset only after successful saveChanges()
- Counter IS incremented on diff errors
- Repeated failures accumulate so tooManyMistakes can trigger
* fix: throttle diff view updates during streaming
Skip redundant rapid updates to reduce performance issues in large
streams (e.g., notebooks) and reset throttle state on cleanup.
* chore: add changeset for diff throttling fix
* test: add unit tests for diff view update throttling
Add comprehensive tests for the throttling behavior introduced in the
streaming diff updates fix. Tests cover empty content, unchanged content,
time-based throttling, final update bypass, and state reset.
* chore: migrate host logging to shared Logger service
- Replace HostProvider.logToChannel usage with Logger.log/error
in controller, webview, and checkpoint migration code
- Remove redundant, low-value log statements from Cline API
methods to reduce noise
- Centralize logging through shared Logger service for more
consistent, structured logging and easier maintenance
- Remove redundant , low-value log statements from StateManager where
we logged error that would be throw and get logged again

Users reported seeing this error with the OpenAI Codex provider:
{"message":"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'type')","modelId":"gpt-5.2-codex"}
The issue occurs when filtering tools before sending to the Responses API.
The filter accessed .type without checking if the tool element was defined:
tools.filter((tool) => tool.type === "function")
If the tools array contains any undefined elements, this throws. Fixed by
adding optional chaining:
tools.filter((tool) => tool?.type === "function")
Applied the same fix to all three providers using the Responses API:
- openai-codex.ts (ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscriptions)
- openai-native.ts (OpenAI API with Responses format)
- oca.ts (OpenAI-compatible API with Responses format)

- Extract model retrieval to avoid multiple function calls
- Use temperature from model.info with fallback to 0 instead of hardcoded value
- Allows temperature to be configured per model rather than using a fixed value
This change enables more flexible temperature configuration for different Cerebras models while maintaining backward compatibility with a default value of 0.
Set default temperature value of 0.9 for Cerebras model in the model
configuration. This establishes a consistent default sampling temperature
for the model's response generation behavior.
* chore: remove noisy log when checking file outside workspace
Removes a `Logger.error` call in `ifFileExistsRelativePath` that triggered whenever a file path was checked without an active workspace. This log was creating excessive noise during long conversations where many files were mentioned but no workspace was open.
* update test
* chore: remove unhelpful and noisy log statements - part 1
Removes excessive debug and info logs across several services to reduce console noise, specifically:
- Deletes `[DEBUG]` logs for request registration, subscription setup/cleanup, and event dispatching in the gRPC controller and UI handlers.
- Removes verbose file cleanup logs in `ClineTempManager` and process termination logs in `AudioRecordingService`.
- Simplifies the success log in `refreshOpenRouterModels` by removing the large JSON payload dump.
- Upgrades the log level from `debug` to `error` for request cleanup failures in `GrpcRequestRegistry` to ensure exceptions are properly highlighted.
* removes subscription logs
* chore: add grit rule to enforce Logger service over console calls
Add a new Grit linting rule that detects direct console method usage
(log, debug, error, warn, info) and prompts developers to use the
Logger service instead for consistent logging practices.
The rule is configured in biome.jsonc to apply to most source files
while excluding test files, webview-ui, evals, standalone, e2e tests,
and scripts where direct console usage may be acceptable.
* support variadic args
* wip: migrate console to Logger
* migrate rest of console logger
* Switch to Logger
* Migrations

* fix: restore switchToSpecializedEditor for Jupyter notebook diff views
This restores the notebook diff view functionality that was accidentally
removed during rebase. The method was incorrectly identified as dead code,
but it was being called in update() when isFinal is true.
Restored functionality:
- Abstract method definition in DiffViewProvider
- Call to switchToSpecializedEditor() in update() after final content
- Full implementation in VscodeDiffViewProvider for notebook diff views
- Temporary file management for modified content
- File system watcher for synchronization
- Proper cleanup in resetDiffView()
- No-op implementations in ExternalDiffViewProvider and FileEditProvider
- Test stub in DiffViewProvider.test.ts
* fix: open notebooks in Jupyter editor after save, strip outputs for LLM
- Override showFile in VscodeDiffViewProvider to open .ipynb files
with the Jupyter notebook editor instead of leaving stale diff view
- Remove notebook check that was skipping showFile in base class
- Add getOriginalContentForLLM() to return sanitized notebook content
- Strip notebook outputs from finalContent to reduce LLM context size
fix: sanitize notebook content in write responses to prevent context explosion
Previously, after editing a notebook, the full file content (including all
base64-encoded images and HTML table outputs) was sent back to the LLM in
the <final_file_content> response. This caused context to explode to ~200K
tokens for simple edits on notebooks with rendered outputs.
Changes:
- Add stripAllOutputs option to sanitizeNotebookForLLM()
- Apply sanitization in DiffViewProvider.saveChanges() for finalContent
- Add getOriginalContentForLLM() for diff error responses
- Strip all outputs (not just images) in write paths since outputs
aren't needed for editing - they regenerate when cells run
Results: 95% reduction in context usage for notebook write responses
(196KB → 9KB in testing).
* chore: add changeset for Jupyter notebook diff view fix

Adds a detailed comment explaining that each VS Code window has its own
StateManager cache, which is why settings like plan/act mode don't sync
between running instances. The cache is populated from disk only during
initialize() and never re-read, providing natural isolation.
* fix: prevent duplicate diff errors when parallel tool calling is enabled
When a `replace_in_file` diff fails during streaming with parallel tool
calling enabled (GPT-5/Codex models), the same error message was being
added to userMessageContent on each streaming chunk, causing hundreds of
duplicates and context window overflow.
Root cause: The duplicate prevention added in 09276ebf4 used the
`didAlreadyUseTool` flag, but this flag is intentionally not set when
parallel tool calling is enabled (per 00e9d6f52). This was because
`didAlreadyUseTool` is designed to block subsequent tools, which is the
opposite of what parallel tool calling needs.
The fix adds per-call_id tracking via `diffErrorPushedForCallIds` Set:
- Track which specific tool calls have already had their error pushed
- Works for both parallel and non-parallel tool calling
- Different parallel tool calls can each report their own errors
- Same call_id only pushes error once, regardless of streaming chunks
This is compatible with the parallel tool calling design because GPT-5
models (which auto-enable parallel tool calling) use native tool calling
and always have a call_id. The mechanism is separate from didAlreadyUseTool
which controls flow (blocking tools) vs this which prevents duplicates.
Related commits:
- 09276ebf4: fix: prevent duplicate error messages during streamed edit
tool failures (only worked when parallel tool calling disabled)
- 00e9d6f52: feat: add experimental parallel tool calling support
(deliberately excluded didAlreadyUseTool from parallel mode)
* test: add unit tests for diffErrorPushedForCallIds duplicate prevention
Tests cover:
- Basic Set behavior (initialization, tracking, clearing)
- Duplicate prevention logic for parallel tool calling
- Edge cases (empty/undefined call_id, rapid streaming chunks)
- Reset behavior between API requests
* Add changeset
* refactor: rename diffErrorPushedForCallIds to errorPushedForCallIds
Generalizes the tracking mechanism per reviewer feedback from @abeatrix.
The more generic name allows the same pattern to be reused for other
tool handlers that may need duplicate error prevention in the future,
not just diff-related errors.
No functional changes - just renaming.
When file operations use the approval flow (isFinal=false), the document
content was not being properly finalized before user approval. This caused
content duplication when shortening files - old content at the end was
preserved instead of being replaced.
Root cause: FileProviderOperations passed isFinal=false to
DiffViewProvider.update(), which:
1. Popped the last line (treated as "incomplete" for streaming)
2. Limited the replacement range to currentLine + 1
3. Skipped truncation of trailing content
Fix: Always pass isFinal=true to update() since the content IS complete.
The isFinal parameter in FileProviderOperations now only controls whether
to save after the update, not the update behavior itself.
This follows the philosophy of dd35448a9 by fixing at the source rather
than adding cleanup logic.
* style: improve OAuth success page design
* fix: hide thinking budget slider for OpenAI Codex provider
OpenAI Codex models use discrete reasoning effort levels (low/medium/high)
controlled via the global OpenAI Reasoning Effort setting, not token-based
thinking budgets like Anthropic models.
* fix: hide thinking toggle with display:none instead of disabled state
* fix: hide cost display for OpenAI Codex provider
Subscription-based provider has no per-token costs, so showing $0.00 is misleading.
* fix: disable delete button for favorited history item
- Add useMemo hook to memoize favorite state calculation, improving performance by avoiding repeated computations of `pendingFavoriteToggles[item.id] ?? item.isFavorited`
- Disable delete button for favorited items but keep delete button for standardized UI display
- Replace multiple inline favorite state checks with centralized `isFavoritedItem` variable for better code maintainability
- Simplify favorite toggle logic by using memoized value
This change ensures favorited items cannot be deleted and reduces unnecessary re-renders when favorite state is accessed.

* docs: fix outdated Ollama model names in documentation
Fixes#7918
- Updated qwen3-coder-30b to qwen2.5-coder:32b (correct identifier)
- Replaced devstral-small with codellama:34b-code (existing model)
- Changed ollama run to ollama pull for initial download
* chore: add changeset for Ollama model names fix
* Jupyter Notebook Enhancements
* fix: implement dynamic notebook instructions for replace_in_file
Leverages the new dynamic prompt infrastructure to conditionally inject Jupyter Notebook-specific instructions into the `replace_in_file` tool. This ensures that the model receives guidance on handling JSON structure in `.ipynb` files only when the `enhancedNotebookInteractionEnabled` setting is active, keeping the default prompt clean for other users.
- Added `enhancedNotebookInteractionEnabled` to global settings and system prompt context
- Updated `replace_in_file` tool to use a dynamic instruction function that appends notebook rules based on context
- Wired up state management to pass the setting value to the prompt builder
* refactor: unify notebook output sanitization across two code paths
Previously, context menu commands (Add to Cline, Explain, etc.) wiped ALL
notebook outputs, while file mentions preserved text and only truncated images.
Additionally, when outputs weren't cleared, massive base64-encoded image data
was sent directly to the LLM, flooding context with garbage.
Changes:
- Create shared notebook-utils.ts with sanitization logic
- Update extract-text.ts to use shared utility
- Update commandUtils.ts to sanitize instead of clearing outputs
Both paths now truncate base64 image data with "[IMAGE DATA TRUNCATED]"
while preserving useful text outputs like print statements and errors.
* feat(improve): unify prompt sending behavior for improveWithCline
Refactor improveWithCline to build a single prompt and handle sending uniformly: for notebooks, populate existing task if available and send immediately; otherwise, create new task. This unifies behavior across selected text and notebook contexts, removing dependency on sendAddToInputEvent and simplifying logic. Minor formatting tweaks in extension.ts for notebook context string.
* refactor: remove notebook_cell_json from proto, move notebook context to dedicated commands
The contributor's original implementation added notebook_cell_json to the
CommandContext proto, which was then populated in getContextForCommand() for
any notebook file when enhancedNotebookInteractionEnabled was set.
This couples notebook-specific functionality to the general command proto,
which feels heavy for a niche feature. Protos should stay clean and general.
Changes:
- Remove notebook_cell_json field from CommandContext proto
- Export findMatchingNotebookCell() from commandUtils.ts
- Update Jupyter commands (JupyterGenerateCell, JupyterExplainCell,
JupyterImproveCell) in extension.ts to fetch cell JSON directly and
bundle it into the notebookContext parameter
- Update command files to use only notebookContext parameter
- Remove notebook-specific handling from getContextForCommand()
Result: Notebook context only flows through dedicated Jupyter commands.
Regular commands (Add to Cline, Fix, etc.) work the same for all file types.
The proto stays clean and general-purpose.
Note: This removes the behavior where regular commands would get notebook
context when used on .ipynb files with enhancedNotebookInteractionEnabled.
That feature is now exclusive to the dedicated Jupyter menu commands.
* feat: improve notebook handling for empty notebooks
- Add semicolon to import statement for consistency
- Prevent errors by checking cell count before accessing notebook cells
- Add fallback in getContextForCommand for active notebook editor when no text editor is available
- Ensures robustness when dealing with empty or cell-less notebooks in the VSCode extension
* refactor: extract common notebook context logic for Jupyter commands
Extracted duplicated code into a helper function `getNotebookCommandContext` to handle active notebook checks, context retrieval, and cell JSON fetching. This reduces duplication in `JupyterGenerateCell` and `JupyterExplainCell` commands, improving code maintainability and readability. Minor import semicolon fix for consistency.
* fix: block notebook edits when enhanced interaction disabled
Prevent crashes when enhancedNotebookInteractionEnabled is false by blocking .ipynb file edits in WriteToFileToolHandler. Added validation to return an error message instructing the user to enable the setting, and set didRejectTool to stop the operation. Reading notebooks remains unaffected.
* fix(mentions): reorder parameters in parseMentions signature
Reordered the parameters in the parseMentions function to move the default parameter to the end of the argument list. This change ensures consistency in the function signature and correctly aligns arguments at the call site in the Task class.
This update was done to fix failing tests.
* Created proper diff views for vscode nd removed unnecessary logs
* feat: make replace_in_file prompt dynamic based on open files
Add editorTabs to SystemPromptContext to expose open/visible files.
Populate editorTabs in Task using HostProvider.
Conditionally include notebook-specific instructions in replace_in_file tool only when .ipynb files are open or visible.
Refactor replace_in_file prompt construction for better readability.
* feat: enable enhanced notebook interaction by default
Remove enhancedNotebookInteractionEnabled feature flag and enable notebook support globally.
Update tool handlers to process notebook cells automatically.
Update file extraction logic to support .ipynb files natively.
Clean up settings UI and state management.
* fix: restore accidentally removed promptContext fields
Commit ec68e7c2a accidentally removed enableParallelToolCalling and
terminalExecutionMode from promptContext when refactoring to add
editorTabs. These fields are still in SystemPromptContext interface
and actively used by system prompt templates.
* fix: complete feature flag removal from package.json
Commit a1dc73f93 removed the enhancedNotebookInteractionEnabled flag
from runtime code but forgot to update package.json. The Jupyter menu
items were hidden because the when conditions checked a setting that
defaulted to false.
- Remove config check from notebook menu item when conditions
- Remove unused setting definition
* fix: change changeset from minor to patch
* fix: code quality improvements in VscodeDiffViewProvider
- Use proper ES6 import for os module instead of require()
- Remove dead commented-out code (closeCurrentTextDiffEditor)
- Improve comment explaining the render delay
* fix: watch specific temp file instead of entire directory
* test: update snapshots for replace_in_file whitespace change
The PR's refactoring of replace_in_file.ts changed indentation in
the tool description from tabs to spaces. Updating snapshots to
match.
* fix: remove merge artifact marginTop from checkpoints div
* test: update DiffViewProvider test stub for new abstract method
* fix: remove dead notebook diff view code (switchToSpecializedEditor)
The switchToSpecializedEditor() method was declared as abstract and
implemented in all DiffViewProvider subclasses, but was never called
from anywhere. This meant ~180 lines of notebook diff view code
(temp file management, file watchers, cleanup) would never execute.
Removing this dead code. The notebook diff view feature will need a
follow-up PR to properly integrate it by calling the method from the

* feat: add OpenAI Codex provider for ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscriptions
Add a new provider that allows users with ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscriptions
to use GPT-5 models directly through Cline without needing an API key.
Key features:
- OAuth authentication via OpenAI (PKCE flow)
- Routes requests to chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses
- Subscription-based pricing (no per-token costs)
- Models: gpt-5.2-codex, gpt-5.1-codex-max, gpt-5.1-codex-mini, gpt-5.2
New files:
- src/integrations/openai-codex/oauth.ts: OAuth manager with PKCE, token storage/refresh
- src/core/api/providers/openai-codex.ts: API handler for Codex backend
- src/core/controller/account/openAiCodexSignIn.ts: Sign-in RPC handler
- src/core/controller/account/openAiCodexSignOut.ts: Sign-out RPC handler
- webview-ui/src/components/settings/providers/OpenAiCodexProvider.tsx: Settings UI
* fix: force native tool calling for Responses API providers
Providers using OpenAI's Responses API (openai-codex, some openai-native
models) require native tool calling. XML tools don't work with these APIs,
causing duplicate tool calls and malformed arguments.
Changes:
- Add openai-codex to isNextGenModelProvider() list so native variant
matchers recognize it
- Force enableNativeToolCalls=true when model uses ApiFormat.OPENAI_RESPONSES,
regardless of user setting
- Document Responses API provider requirements in CLAUDE.md
* chore: rename OpenAI Codex provider label to ChatGPT Codex Subscription
* fix: use shared fetch wrapper for proxy support in OpenAI Codex provider
* revert: remove CLAUDE.md changes from this PR
* fix: restore .clinerules/general.md to match main
* chore: rename provider label to OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT Plus/Pro)
* chore: add network.md reference to clinerules
* feat: show VS Code notifications for OpenAI Codex OAuth success/failure
* Fixed provider logic to handle Azure Commercial and Azure Government based on domain suffix.
* Adjusted region logic for simple long term modifications for other soverign cloud regions.
* feat: add cloud storage and sync system infrastructure
Add cloud storage capabilities with support for R2 and S3 adapters:
- Add ClineBlobStorage class for cloud-based state persistence
- Implement R2 and S3 storage adapters with AWS4 signing
- Initialize sync system on extension activation and dispose on teardown
- Refactor StateManager to integrate with secret storage
- Add required dependencies: aws4fetch for AWS request signing and yaml for configuration parsing
This enables uploading Cline state across devices using cloud storage providers when configured.
* refactor: remove yaml dependency and refactor storage/backfill logic
Replace YAML serialization with JSON for API conversation history storage.
Refactor backfill worker to read task IDs from history file instead of
filesystem directory scanning, improving performance and consistency.
Changes:
- Remove yaml package dependency (^2.8.2)
- Switch from YAML.stringify to JSON.stringify in saveApiConversationHistory
- Refactor listTaskIds to read from task history state file
- Add timestamp-based filtering using taskId parsing
- Remove filesystem-based directory scanning logic
- Remove unused getFileMtime function and useQueue option
This simplifies dependencies and aligns storage format across the codebase
while improving backfill efficiency by avoiding directory traversal.
* clean up
* clean up
* feat(worker): add queue cleanup and size enforcement mechanisms
- Add cleanupFailedItems() method to remove failed items exceeding max retries or age threshold
- Add enforceMaxSize() method to enforce maximum queue size with priority-based eviction
- Add maxQueueSize and maxFailedAgeMs configuration options (configurable via env vars)
- Run cleanup before processing to prevent unbounded queue growth, even when blob storage is misconfigured
This prevents the sync queue from growing indefinitely in misconfigured environments by automatically evicting stale failed items and enforcing a maximum queue size (default: 1000 items, 7-day failed item retention).
* feat(sync): add remote config support for blob store settings
- Add support for remote config blob store settings with env var fallback
- Pass blob store configuration through SyncWorkerOptions to init
- Extract getBlobStoreSettingsFromEnv() helper for environment-based config
- Update blob storage initialization to accept settings parameter
- Replace ClineBlobStorage.isConfigured() with blobStorage.isReady()
- Move backfill flag from env var to options parameter
- Ensure proper initialization flow with settings validation
This change enables dynamic blob store configuration from remote config
while maintaining backward compatibility with environment variables as
a fallback mechanism.

I belive the file is duplicated of src/core/api/providers/dify.ts file.
new DifyHandler is imported from src/core/api/providers/dify.ts and the removed dify file is not being used
Some GPT-5.1/5.2 (codex) models can trigger OpenAI Responses API errors like: 'function_call was provided without its required reasoning item'.
Root cause: PromptRegistry selects the first matching variant; our native-gpt-5 matcher previously let any 'codex' model bypass the gpt-5.1/gpt-5.2 exclusion, so gpt-5.2-codex could incorrectly match NATIVE_GPT_5 instead of NATIVE_GPT_5_1.
Change: route all GPT-5.1 and GPT-5.2 models (including codex variants) to NATIVE_GPT_5_1; keep GPT-5 (and gpt-5-codex) on the less strict NATIVE_GPT_5.
This was observed as a hard-to-reproduce, sporadic error, but we want the safer routing available for anyone hitting it.
Wrap the call to `HostProvider.logToChannel` in a try/catch block so that logging does not throw when the host provider is not ready or unavailable.
Remove the now‑unused `ErrorService` imports and logging calls, keeping the logger focused on its core responsibility while preventing unnecessary failures during startup or testing. P.S: ErrorService is not enabled
* feat: support native tool call for ollama and lmstudio
Implemented conditional exposure of native tools in the system prompt based on `enableNativeToolCalls`. Updated the XS variant used by ollama and lmstudio configuration to match local models only and removed obsolete tool references. Added comprehensive tool overrides for both native and non‑native scenarios.
* add changeset
* update snippets and templates
* feat(cli): add version to root cobra command
Expose --version by setting the root command version.
* feat(cli): include core version in CLI version output
Format the CLI version string to show both CLI and core versions for clarity
* feat(cli): centralize version string output for CLI
Add a shared VersionString helper and use it for the
version command and Cobra version template, while
keeping the root command version to CLI only.
* feat: add git worktree management UI
Adds a worktrees view accessible from the navbar that allows users to:
- View all existing worktrees with their branch and path info
- Create new worktrees from local/remote branches or new branches
- Switch between worktrees (opens folder in VS Code)
- Delete worktrees with confirmation
Implementation includes:
- New proto definitions for worktree service RPCs
- Controller handlers for CRUD operations
- Git worktree utility functions
- WorktreesView React component with full UI
- Navbar integration with worktree button
* feat: enhance worktree creation error handling in WorktreesView
Adds error state management for worktree creation in the WorktreesView component. Introduces a new state variable to capture and display error messages when worktree creation fails, improving user feedback during the process.
* feat: add worktree defaults retrieval to WorktreeService and UI
Introduces a new RPC method `getWorktreeDefaults` to fetch suggested defaults for branch names and paths when creating new worktrees. Updates the WorktreesView component to utilize this method, enhancing the user experience by auto-generating branch names and paths. Additionally, integrates tooltips for improved UI interactions and adds a close button to the worktree creation modal.
* feat: implement .worktreeinclude file management in WorktreeService
Adds new RPC methods to the WorktreeService for managing .worktreeinclude files, including retrieving the status of the file and creating it with specified content. Updates the WorktreesView component to handle the creation and status checking of .worktreeinclude, enhancing user experience by automating file management for worktrees. Additionally, modifies the UI to reflect these changes, including updated tooltips and improved error handling.
* feat: add checkout branch functionality to WorktreeService and UI
Introduces a new RPC method `checkoutBranch` to the WorktreeService for switching branches within the current worktree. Updates the WorktreesView component to support this functionality, enhancing user experience by allowing seamless branch switching. Additionally, refines the UI layout for better responsiveness and improves loading/error state handling.
* feat: reposition New Worktree button for improved UI layout
Moves the New Worktree button to a fixed position at the bottom of the WorktreesView component, enhancing accessibility and user experience. The button is now styled to occupy the full width, ensuring better visibility and interaction within the UI.
* feat: update documentation links in WorktreesView component
Modifies the documentation links in the WorktreesView component to point to the correct feature sections, ensuring users have access to accurate resources. Additionally, adds the "features/worktrees" entry in the documentation JSON for better organization.
* feat: add worktree merging functionality and UI enhancements
Introduces a new feature for merging worktrees, allowing users to merge changes from a worktree's branch into the main branch with options to delete the worktree post-merge. Updates the WorktreesView component to include a merge modal, handling merge conflicts, and integrating with the WorktreeService for seamless operations. Additionally, enhances documentation to reflect these changes.
* refactor: replace exec with simple-git for worktree operations
Refactors the worktree management code to utilize the simple-git library instead of child_process exec for executing Git commands. This change enhances code readability and maintainability by providing a more streamlined interface for Git operations in the checkoutBranch, mergeWorktree, and git-worktree modules. Additionally, it improves error handling and reduces the complexity of command execution.
* feat: enhance mergeWorktree functionality to check target worktree status
Implements a check for uncommitted changes in the target worktree before merging, ensuring that users are informed if the target branch has uncommitted changes. This update improves error handling and user feedback during the merge process by verifying the state of both the source and target worktrees. Additionally, it integrates the listWorktrees utility to identify the correct worktree for the target branch.
* refactor: optimize worktree loading to prevent UI flickering
Enhances the loadWorktrees function in WorktreesView to only update the component's state if the fetched data has changed, reducing unnecessary re-renders and preventing flickering. This change improves the user experience by providing a smoother interface when loading worktrees. Additionally, simplifies the polling mechanism for updates.
* feat: update merge conflict display and task creation flow in WorktreesView
Enhances the merge conflict notification by providing a clearer list of conflicting files, including a summary for additional files. Additionally, modifies the task creation flow to close the worktrees view upon task creation, improving user experience during the merge process.
* fix: improve tooltip functionality and clean up WorktreesView component
Enhances the tooltip for the current worktree indicator to provide additional context for users. Additionally, removes the display of commit hashes in the worktree list to streamline the UI, improving overall clarity and user experience.
* feat: add symlink functionality for .worktreeinclude to sync with .gitignore
Introduces a new section in the documentation explaining how to create a symlink from .gitignore to .worktreeinclude. This allows users to automatically sync patterns between the two files, simplifying worktree setup. Additionally, includes a note for users needing different patterns to create a regular .worktreeinclude file instead.
* fix: simplify merge request button in WorktreesView component
Removes the "Merge" text from the button label in the WorktreesView component, streamlining the user interface. This change focuses on clarity by allowing the button to simply prompt users to "Ask Cline to Resolve," enhancing the overall user experience during merge conflict resolution.

* Fixes docs not rendering
* perf(worktree): optimize file copying for .worktreeinclude
Address performance feedback - worktree creation was taking ~20 seconds
for large directories like node_modules (50k+ files).
Optimizations:
- Use native `cp -r` for entire directories (10-20x faster)
- Parallelize file copying with batches of 100 (5-10x faster)
- Parallelize directory traversal with Promise.all
The old implementation copied files sequentially which caused the
bottleneck. Now directories like node_modules are copied using the
system's native cp command, and individual files are copied in
parallel batches.
Also adds unit tests for the worktree-include module.
* feat(worktree): add multi-root and subfolder workspace warnings
- Detect and warn when multiple workspace folders are open (worktrees not supported in multi-root)
- Detect and warn when a subfolder of a git repo is open instead of the root, showing the actual git root path
- Fix UI overflow on narrow widths by using min-h-32 instead of fixed h-32
* refactor(worktree): auto-fill defaults when create modal opens
* fix(worktree): add cursor pointer to create modal close button
* feat(worktree): add clear buttons to create modal input fields
* feat(worktree): add quick launch button on home page

- Add Current label with branch icon above path in worktree info
* feat(worktree): auto-open Cline sidebar on worktree launch
When switching to a worktree via quick launch button, automatically
open the Cline sidebar in the new/reloaded window. Uses globalState
to pass the target path between windows, reading directly from
context.globalState at startup to bypass StateManager cache timing.
* fix(worktree): improve quick launch UX
- Make current branch/path clickable to navigate to worktrees view
- Fix word wrap for long branch names and paths
- Show .worktreeinclude warning in create modal with learn more link
* chore: ignore .worktrees directory and CLAUDE.local.md

* fix(worktree): rename Main badge to Primary
* feat(worktree): add worktrees button to sidebar header
Adds a git-branch icon button to the Cline sidebar header for quick
access to the Worktrees view. Also updates docs to mention this new
entry point and adds a typical workflow section.
* fix(worktree): UI polish
- Change New Worktree Window tooltip to show above button instead of below
- Add break-all to branch names for long branch text wrapping
- Simplify merge button tooltip and modal title (remove 'and close')
* fix(e2e): update tests to match renamed Recent header
* fix(worktree): improve non-git repo message
* fix(worktree): wrap path instead of truncating
* fix(e2e): update auth test to use aria-label instead of removed class
* fix(worktree): add option to delete branch when deleting worktree
- Update delete modal copy to accurately describe behavior
- Add checkbox to optionally delete branch (unchecked by default)
- Show warning about unpushed commits when checkbox is checked
- Update proto, handler, and UI to support delete_branch option
* fix: remove worktrees menu button from sidebar
Remove the worktrees button from the VS Code extension menu bar.
* fix(ui): temporarily disable new worktree button, add tooltip to current worktree
Comment out "New Worktree Window" button until worktree creation is stable.
Add tooltip to current worktree info with "View and manage git worktrees.
Great for running parallel Cline tasks."
* feat: add worktree-exp feature flag for worktrees feature
Put the worktrees feature behind a feature flag (worktree-exp) that
defaults to false. When enabled, users can toggle the feature in
settings. The home page worktree section only shows when both the
feature flag is enabled and the user setting is on.
* feat: add telemetry for worktree feature usage
Track worktree feature engagement:
- worktree.view_opened: when users open worktrees view (with source)
- worktree.created: when worktrees are created (with total count)
- worktree.merge_attempted: when merge is attempted (success/conflicts)

* feat(telemetry): add exit code to terminal execution telemetry
Include process exit code in standalone terminal execution telemetry
to help diagnose failure types. Common codes like 127 (command not found)
and 126 (permission denied) provide valuable debugging information.
- Add optional exitCode parameter to captureTerminalExecution
- Only include exitCode when it has a meaningful value
- Update comments to clarify failure diagnosis purpose
* feat(temp): add centralized temp file manager with auto-cleanup
Introduce ClineTempManager to handle all Cline temporary files:
- Uses "cline-" prefix for easy identification
- Automatically cleans up files older than 50 hours on activation
- Enforces 2GB total size cap to prevent disk bloat
- Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)
Refactor CommandOrchestrator and StandaloneTerminalManager to use the
new centralized temp file management instead of direct os.tmpdir() calls.
* feat: add periodic temp file cleanup every 24 hours
- Add startPeriodicCleanup() and stopPeriodicCleanup() methods to ClineTempManager
- Start 24-hour cleanup interval on extension activation
- Stop cleanup interval on extension deactivation
- Use unref() on interval to prevent blocking Node exit
* minor fix
* minor fix
* fix: centralize temp cleanup and scan full temp dir
Move initial cleanup into startPeriodicCleanup, ensure temp
directory exists, and process all temp files with safer error
handling to avoid misses and race deletions.
* minor fix
* chore: shows arrow for history item details on hover only
Add subtle bottom border to history items for better visual separation and improve expand/collapse icon visibility by hiding it by default and showing it only on hover with a smooth opacity transition. This creates a cleaner interface while maintaining discoverability of the expand functionality.
Changes:
- Add border-bottom with low opacity accent color to history items
- Hide expand/collapse chevron icon by default
- Show chevron on hover with smooth opacity transition
* align checkbox
Add explicit checks in the Native GPT‑5 variant to enable the variant for
`gpt‑oss` model IDs and reject non‑next‑generation providers. The provider
list in `model-utils.ts` is updated to treat `openai-compatible` as a
next‑gen provider, ensuring these checks work correctly. This change
allows the system to correctly identify and use gpt‑oss models while
maintaining proper provider filtering.
The PR's safelyTruncateDocument() skips calling truncateDocument() when
there's nothing to truncate. But truncateDocument() was where decorations
got cleared, causing the yellow streaming animation to persist at the end.
Fix: Add onFinalUpdate() hook that's always called after the final update.
VscodeDiffViewProvider overrides it to clear decorations.
* fix: DiffViewProvider line boundary validation and content concatenation
Two bugs in DiffViewProvider caused file editing failures:
1. **Line boundary validation errors (#8423, #8429)**
JetBrains hosts using gRPC strictly validate line numbers. When
truncateDocument() was called with a line number >= document line count,
it caused "truncateDocument INTERNAL: Wrong line" errors. This occurred
when new content had >= lines than the original, making truncation
unnecessary but still attempted.
2. **Content concatenation on final update**
When replacing content without a trailing newline, the old content at
line N+1 was concatenated to the new content. For example, writing
"Hello World" to a file containing "line1\nline2\n" resulted in
"Hello Worldline2" instead of just "Hello World".
1. Added `getDocumentLineCount()` abstract method to all DiffViewProvider
implementations to query the current document line count.
2. Added `safelyTruncateDocument()` private helper that validates line
numbers before calling truncateDocument():
```typescript
private async safelyTruncateDocument(lineNumber: number): Promise<void> {
const lineCount = await this.getDocumentLineCount()
if (lineNumber < lineCount) {
await this.truncateDocument(lineNumber)
}
}
```
3. Extended the replacement range on final update to cover the entire
document, preventing content concatenation:
```typescript
const endLine = isFinal
? await this.getDocumentLineCount()
: currentLine + 1
```
- src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts
- Added abstract getDocumentLineCount() method
- Added safelyTruncateDocument() boundary validation helper
- Modified update() to extend final replacement range
- src/hosts/vscode/VscodeDiffViewProvider.ts
- Implemented getDocumentLineCount() using editor.document.lineCount
- src/hosts/external/ExternalDiffviewProvider.ts
- Implemented getDocumentLineCount() by counting lines from getDocumentText()
- src/integrations/editor/FileEditProvider.ts
- Implemented getDocumentLineCount() from documentContent
- src/integrations/editor/__tests__/DiffViewProvider.test.ts (new)
- Added 4 unit tests for boundary validation and concatenation fix
Fixes#8423, #8429
* fix: preserve trailing newlines in file edits
Trailing newlines were being incorrectly stripped during file edits due to
trimEnd() calls in handlers. This caused files to lose their final newline
even when the original file had one.
Changes:
- Remove trimEnd() from WriteToFileToolHandler and ApplyPatchHandler that
was stripping trailing newlines before content reached the editor
- Remove dead code in DiffViewProvider.update() that tried to restore
newlines after the document was already written
- Add trailing newline fix-up in VscodeDiffViewProvider to handle VS Code's
applyEdit sometimes normalizing newlines on full-document replacements
- Fix FileEditProvider.replaceText() to preserve trailing newlines when
replacing to end of document
* fix: preserve trailing newlines in diff text ops
Align splitLines with JS split behavior and keep trailing
newline segments when replacing to end of document to avoid
dropping final line breaks.
Fixes#8004
When storage persistence fails (common on Windows with OneDrive/Dropbox/NAS),
the Controller was calling StateManager.reInitialize() to "recover". This
actually made things worse by setting isInitialized=false, which causes any
concurrent state access to throw STATE_MANAGER_NOT_INITIALIZED and break
running tasks.
The fix: just log the error. Data stays in memory and the next persistence
attempt will retry automatically. No need to alarm users with warnings since
nothing is actually lost.
Fix error message handling during streaming by removing previous partial
error messages and only pushing the final error result when streaming is
complete. This prevents multiple error messages from being displayed for
the same plan mode tool restriction and ensures errors are only finalized
after streaming ends.
* chore: enable APPLY_PATCH tool for native gpt-5 and codex variant
Replace FILE_NEW and FILE_EDIT tools with APPLY_PATCH for the native-gpt-5 model configuration that works better with codex and gpt-5 models
* Update changeset
* update snapshot
* Fix the Feature Flag null check
* Pass null instead of undefined
* Update the cacheInfo so we don't fetch twice simultaneously
* Fix the featureFlagsService binding
* refactor: rename VS Code LM API provider to GitHub Copilot
- Change dropdown label from "VS Code LM API" to "GitHub Copilot"
- Simplify description to focus on Copilot as the primary use case
- Remove experimental warning since the integration is stable
- Add link to Copilot extension in VS Marketplace
* fix: add font-size inherit to global anchor styles
Ensures links inherit font size from their parent element instead of
using a potentially different default size.
* Changed the "Notes" column for "Enable notifications" from "Helpful for terminal work" to "Accessible directly in the Auto Approve menu" to make it clear that users don't need to navigate to General Settings anymore.
Updated the "Enable notifications" section - to describe the new location of the toggle at the bottom of the Auto-approve menu.
A link to a short video showing the toggle was added.
* updated as per issue 7810 and noted in previous commit.
* edit - remove extra link to video in /auto-approve.mdx

#8335 introduced the use_skill tool, but there was no corresponding output in the chat interface (just an empty chat row).
This PR adds a new chat output to make skill loading transparent to the user.
* Fix local CLI install to rebuild cleanly
* fix(install): copy package.json for standalone startup
Ensure the extension package.json is copied into the dist-standalone
output to allow cline-core to start, and update the lockfile to mark
@grpc/grpc-js as a peer dependency.
* fix: keep diff view during apply patch approval
Stream patch parsing to render a diff view before approval step, and update file ops to avoid applying create/move/delete changes prematurely until request was approved.
* reset provider state after patch operations and improve file tracking
- Add provider.reset() call after user rejection to ensure clean state
- Move provider.reset() after successful patch application to prevent state leakage
- Defer file context tracking until after all patch operations complete
- Set didEditFile flag when processing results instead of during operations
This ensures the provider maintains a clean state between file operations and prevents potential issues with stale state affecting subsequent patches.

* feat: add auto-generation of state proto
Add lint-staged hook to automatically regenerate proto/cline/state.proto
when src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts changes. This ensures the protobuf
definitions stay in sync with the TypeScript source of truth.
Changes:
- Add generate-state-proto.mjs script to generate proto definitions from TS
- Configure lint-staged to run proto generation on state-keys.ts changes
- Update state.proto with regenerated field numbers and new OpenTelemetry fields
This automation prevents drift between TypeScript state definitions and
their protobuf representations, reducing manual maintenance burden.
* PlanActMode
* feat(proto): change thinking budget token fields to int64
Change plan_mode_thinking_budget_tokens and act_mode_thinking_budget_tokens
from int32 to int64 to support larger token budget values. Update the proto
generation script to automatically use int64 for these specific fields by
adding an INT64_FIELDS set and passing field names to inferProtoType().
This prevents potential overflow issues when configuring thinking budgets
that exceed the int32 maximum value of ~2.1 billion tokens.
* feat(proto): change auto_condense_threshold type from int32 to double
Changed the auto_condense_threshold field type from int32 to double in the
state.proto file to support decimal values. Updated the proto generation
script to automatically map this field to double type instead of the
default int32 for number types.
* add documentation for proto field generation
Add inline documentation to state.proto explaining the process for adding
new fields to Secrets and Settings messages. Also add a note in state-keys.ts
clarifying that the generate-state-proto.mjs script runs automatically on
commit. Remove redundant sync comment from API_HANDLER_SETTINGS_FIELDS.

- Removing duplicate error_retry messages, keeping only the latest attempt
- Removing error_retry messages entirely when followed by successful api_req_started
(unless marked as failed)
- Enhanced message lookahead logic to skip over api_req_retried messages when
determining what follows an error_retry
This provides cleaner message output during retry sequences and successful retry
recovery scenarios.
* add changeset
* only display last retry error
* add anthropic--claude-4.5-opus into sap provider.

* fix: normalize tool call IDs for OpenAI messages
Transform tool call IDs to meet OpenAI length/prefix limits and apply the same logic to both `tool_calls[].id` and `tool_call_id` so they always match, preventing invalid parameter errors. Also enforce 53-char `fc_` IDs for the Responses API and add a helper to detect that format.
Ensure that whatever ID is produced for the tool_calls[].id in the assistant message matches what's produced for tool_call_id in the tool result message.
* add changeset
* refactor: move isOpenAIResponseToolId and fix tool ID truncation
- Move isOpenAIResponseToolId helper function from openai-response-format.ts
to openai-format.ts where it's actually used, making it private
- Fix transformToolCallId to use MAX_TOOL_CALL_ID_LENGTH constant for
calculating slice offset, ensuring IDs stay under the 40-char limit
- Add clarifying comment explaining the truncation logic
* fix: correct function call ID prefix check in OpenAI response format
Fix startsWith check to use "fc_" instead of "fc" to properly detect
* Fix tool call length

Add optimizeDeps configuration with force flag to ensure Vite
re-optimizes dependencies on every build. This resolves potential
issues with stale or inconsistent dependency resolution in the
webview build process.
* refactor: simplify API configuration management and state handling
Refactored `StateManager` and `ApiConfiguration` handling to use a more maintainable, data-driven approach. Replaced manual key mapping in `setApiConfiguration` with automated categorization based on static definitions.
- Updated `buildApiHandler` and `createHandlerForProvider` to accept `Partial<ApiConfiguration>`, improving flexibility.
- Introduced `categorizeApiConfigurationKeys` and other helpers to separate settings from secrets automatically.
- Centralized secret key definitions in `state-keys.ts` to reduce boilerplate and potential for errors when adding new providers.
- Cleaned up redundant imports and type definitions across the core API and storage modules.
* apply feedback
* clean up
* refactor: consolidate API configuration types and state key definitions
- Rename `ApiHandlerSecrets` to `Secrets` for consistency across codebase
- Merge `ApiHandlerOptions` with `ApiHandlerSettings` to reduce duplication
- Extract `GlobalStateAndSettingKeys` as a computed constant from state field definitions
- Consolidate remote configuration fields into `REMOTE_CONFIG_EXTRA_FIELDS` group
- Remove redundant type definitions and improve type safety in state management
This refactoring simplifies the type system by eliminating duplicate interfaces
and ensures consistent naming conventions throughout the storage and API layers.

* [NOOP] Update BannerService to integrate with the webview.
Update the BannerService to convert the banners to the BannerCardData format for the webview.
Add a field for the banners in the `ExtensionState`.
In the WelcomeSection, get the banners from the extension state and show them in the webview.
NOOP- this is a currently a no-op because the controller is not yet populating the `banners` field in the extension state. I will submit that in a second PR because we need the handlers for the dismissal logic before we can start displaying the banners.
# Conflicts:
# src/shared/ExtensionMessage.ts
* Update tests
* Validate the banner action type before sending it to the webview
* Handle dimiss for API banners
When an API banner is dismissed, use the `dismissBanner` protobus handler.
Add warning comments saying not to use the old banner version system. This not scalable as it requires a different protobus handlers for each type of banner. You can get the same effect by using the banner ID and appending a version number to the ID.
* Send the banners from the extension to the webview
The controllers populates the banners in the extension state.
Add a check for buttons with empty titles because they don't render properly and this is an error in the banner configuration if it happens.
* Add handler to Link action button in the webview.

* fix: guard against null/empty choices in streaming responses
Some OpenAI-compatible APIs (DeepSeek, Groq, OpenWebUI, etc.) send
usage chunks at the end of streaming with empty or null choices arrays.
This was causing crashes with 'Cannot read properties of undefined'.
Added optional chaining on chunk.choices across all 24 affected
provider files to safely handle these usage-only chunks.

* docs: add Skills feature documentation
Add comprehensive documentation for the Agent Skills feature including:
- Overview of what skills are and why they're useful
- How to create skills with SKILL.md and YAML frontmatter
- Global vs project skill locations
- Managing skills via the UI toggle interface
- Real example (data-analysis skill)
- Bundling supporting files and scripts
- Comparison with Rules and Workflows
Oh. Add a new Skills tab to the Rules/Workflows modal that allows users to
view and toggle skills (global and workspace), create new skills from
templates, and delete existing skills. The tab only appears when the
skillsEnabled setting is on.
Changes:
- Add proto definitions for skills operations (refreshSkills, toggleSkill,
createSkillFile, deleteSkillFile) with corresponding message types
- Add globalSkillsToggles to Settings and localSkillsToggles to LocalState
- Implement controller handlers for skills operations
- Add skills toggle state management to ExtensionStateContext
- Add Skills tab component to ClineRulesToggleModal
- Update RuleRow and NewRuleRow components to support skill type
- Implement lazy discovery for skills in UseSkillToolHandler (skills are
discovered on-demand at execution time and filtered by toggle state)
- Use Tailwind CSS classes for styling consistency
* fix: prevent duplicate diff error messages during file edits
Remove existing diff_error messages before displaying new ones to avoid
showing the same error multiple times when streaming file edits. This
ensures users only see the error once per occurrence, improving the UX
during tool execution with parallel tool calling disabled.

- Add supportsReasoning field to model configurations in basetenModels
- Implement detection logic for reasoning support via supported_parameters
- Mark reasoning-capable models (DeepSeek-R1, Qwen3, etc.) with supportsReasoning: true
- Update model refresh logic to populate supportsReasoning based on static config or parameter detection
This fixes issues where Baseten models are showing Thinking not supported in the UI.

Cerebras rate limiter estimates token consumption using max_completion_tokens upfront, so requesting the model maximum (e.g., 64K) reserves that quota even if actual usage is low. This causes users to hit rate limits prematurely during agentic workflows with many short tool-use responses.
Uses 16K as default which is sufficient for most agentic tool use while preserving rate limit headroom.

- Update default model from MiniMax-M2 to MiniMax-M2.1
* fix(mcp): handle 404 responses from streamableHttp servers
The MCP SDK sends a GET request to check for SSE stream support when
connecting to streamableHttp servers. Per the MCP spec, servers that
don't support SSE should return 405 (Method Not Allowed), but many
servers incorrectly return 404 (Not Found).
The SDK only gracefully handles 405 responses, so servers returning 404
cause connection failures with "Failed to open SSE stream: Not Found".
This was exposed by the SDK upgrade from 1.22.0 to 1.25.1 in v3.46.0,
which added stricter SSE stream initialization checks.
This fix wraps the fetch function to normalize 404 -> 405 for GET
requests, allowing Cline to work with non-compliant servers while
they update to return proper 405 responses.

Only show a notification when the extension updates, instead of
automatically focusing the Cline sidebar. This prevents the extension
from stealing focus on VS Code launch.
When using background exec mode, commands run in the system default shell
(cmd.exe on Windows, /bin/bash on Unix) rather than the VS Code configured
shell. This ensures the system prompt accurately reflects which shell will
be used for command execution.
- Add getEffectiveShell() function to determine actual shell used
- Pass terminalExecutionMode through SystemPromptContext
- Use system default shell info when backgroundExec mode is active

* fix(api): filter Gemini reasoning details by tool call ID
Filter reasoning details in the OpenAI format transformer to ensure they
only include entries matching the specific tool call ID. This prevents
"Function call is missing a thought_signature" errors when using Gemini
models, where mismatched reasoning details would cause API validation
failures.
* fix(gemini): drop invalid thought signatures and corrupted reasoning_details
- Gemini direct: drop tool_use/thinking blocks when signature is missing
- OpenRouter: keep only tool reasoning_details matching tool id
- Skip reasoning.encrypted entries missing data to avoid 400s (#8214)
* fix(core): sanitize Gemini tool calls in OpenRouter stream
Gemini models require thought signatures for tool calls. When switching providers mid-conversation, historical tool calls may lack these reasoning details, causing subsequent requests to fail.
This change implements a filter for Gemini models that:
- Identifies assistant messages with tool calls but no reasoning details.
- Drops those tool calls while preserving textual content.
- Removes the corresponding tool response messages to maintain conversation integrity.
* fix: make Workspace and Favorites history filters independent
Move Workspace and Favorites filters out of the VSCodeRadioGroup into
their own container. This fixes the regression where selecting one filter
would prevent selecting the other, since VSCodeRadioGroup enforces mutual
exclusivity. The filters now work as independent toggles while maintaining
visual continuity with the sort options above.

Update terminal troubleshooting docs to prominently recommend
Background Execution Mode as the primary solution for terminal
integration problems. This provides a simpler fix for most users
before diving into more complex troubleshooting steps.
- Add tip boxes with step-by-step instructions for enabling
Background Exec mode in both terminal guide documents
- Clarify that detailed troubleshooting is for users who
specifically need VSCode's integrated terminal
* feat(telemetry): add terminal type tracking to telemetry events
Add terminalType parameter to terminal telemetry methods to differentiate
between VSCode and standalone terminal execution contexts. This enables
better analysis of terminal output capture success rates across different
environments.
- Add TerminalType, VscodeOutputMethod, and StandaloneOutputMethod types
- Update captureTerminalExecution to require terminalType parameter
- Update captureTerminalOutputFailure to require terminalType parameter
- Add terminalType option to OrchestrationOptions interface
- Update all call sites in VscodeTerminalProcess with "vscode" type
* feat(terminal): add terminal type tracking to telemetry events
Pass terminal type (standalone vs vscode) to telemetry capture calls
for terminal hang and user intervention events. This enables better
analysis of terminal behavior differences between execution modes.
* feat: add telemetry tracking for standalone terminal execution
Add telemetry capture for terminal process completion and errors in
StandaloneTerminalProcess to track execution success/failure metrics.
- Track successful completions (exit code 0 or null) and failures
- Capture error events separately with child_process_error identifier
- Use "standalone" terminal type for metric categorization
* feat: remove z-ai/glm-4.6 from free models list
Remove the Zhipu AI GLM-4.6 model from the free models selection in the OpenRouter model picker component. This change updates the available free model options for users.
* update changelog
- Added GLM 4.7 model
- Enhanced background terminal execution with command tracking, log file output, zombie process prevention (10-minute timeout), and clickable log paths in UI
- Apply Patch tool for GPT-5+ models (replacing current diff edit tools)
- Duplicate error messages during streaming for Diff Edit tool when Parallel Tool Calling is not enabled
- Banner carousel styling and dismiss functionality
- Typos in Gemini system prompt overrides

When the triage bot identifies a likely regression from a recent PR or
commit, it will now apply the "Regression" label to help the team
prioritize and route these issues to the responsible developer.
- Add glm-4.7 model configuration for both international and mainland ZAi
- Update default model from glm-4.5 to glm-4.7
- Add missing cacheReadsPrice property to glm-4.6 model configs
* refactor(terminal): centralize constants and implement output capping
- Move terminal-related constants (timeouts, compiling markers, and size limits) to a centralized constants file.
- Implement output capping in VscodeTerminalProcess to prevent memory exhaustion by truncating fullOutput when it exceeds MAX_FULL_OUTPUT_SIZE.
- Update terminal process logic to use centralized constants for consistency across VS Code and standalone terminal implementations.
- Clean up imports and formatting in the task core.
* update pricing
* fix(terminal): improve compilation marker detection accuracy
Extract compilation detection logic into isCompilingOutput() function
that checks markers at the START of lines only, rather than anywhere
in the output. This prevents false positives from file names, error
messages, or code snippets that happen to contain marker words.
* update pricing
* refactor(chat): simplify log file link display to show filename only
- Extract filename from full path for cleaner display
- Change from banner-style div to compact ghost button
- Add full path as tooltip for reference
- Improve styling with smaller text and border-based separator
* feat: add graceful process termination with SIGKILL fallback
Extract process termination logic into a reusable utility that handles
graceful shutdown:
- Send SIGTERM first to allow processes to clean up
- Wait for configurable timeout (default 2 seconds)
- Fall back to SIGKILL if process doesn't exit gracefully
- Support cross-platform termination via tree-kill
Update StandaloneTerminalProcess to use the new async terminate method
and update ITerminalProcess interface to allow async termination.
* feat(terminal): simplify compilation output detection to match markers anywhere
Change isCompilingOutput to use simple string includes() instead of
line-by-line startsWith() matching. This allows detecting compilation
markers anywhere in the output rather than only at the start of lines,
making detection more permissive and the code simpler.

* feat: add SessionStart hook for Claude Code on the web
Adds a session-start hook that runs in remote environments to:
- Install all dependencies (npm run install:all)
- Generate gRPC/protobuf types (npm run protos)
This enables Claude Code web sessions to properly run tests and linters.
* feat: add .worktreeinclude for Claude Code worktrees
Ensures environment files and local settings are copied to new worktrees:
- .env files
- .clineignore
- Local Claude settings
* fix: include node_modules and generated files in worktreeinclude
Copying these to worktrees saves significant setup time:
- node_modules: skips npm install (~1-2 min)
- src/generated/, src/shared/proto/: skips proto generation
* feat: install gh CLI and add GITHUB_TOKEN support in session hook
- Rename session-start.sh to claude-code-for-web-setup.sh
- Install latest gh CLI from GitHub releases
- Check for GITHUB_TOKEN and inform Claude about gh availability
- Enables using `gh issue`, `gh pr` commands when token is configured
* refactor: make .worktreeinclude a symlink to .gitignore
When scrolled to bottom, the up button wasn't reliably scrolling all
the way to the top because Virtuoso's virtual rendering doesn't have
all items rendered. Added a delayed follow-up scroll to ensure we
reach the actual top after items render.
* fix(ui): center View All button under task history list
* fix(ui): use VSCodeRadio for workspace and favorites filters on history page
* fix(ui): move Select All/None buttons to bottom of history page with secondary style
* fix(ui): prevent MCP server toggle from triggering row expand/collapse
* fix(ui): show connecting status when enabling MCP server
* fix(ui): show connecting status during MCP server restart
* fix(ui): add cursor pointer on hover for expandable MCP server rows
Instead of auto-generating release notes from PRs, extract the

Full Changelog comparison link.
When starting a task in a location that can't use checkpoints (e.g., Desktop,
Documents, Downloads, or home directory), the checkpoint message was still
appearing in the chat without a SHA. This happened because the code added
the message before checking if initialization had failed.
Now we check for `checkpointManagerErrorMessage` before showing the checkpoint
message, so users in unsupported locations won't see a broken checkpoint element.
* Revert "feat: enhanced compact task complete ui (#8025)"
This reverts commit cc36c67fc9.
* feat(ui): add green styling to task completed row
- Add green border and tinted green background to task completion container
- Add copyButtonStyle prop to WithCopyButton for custom positioning
- Revert previous compact task UI changes in favor of simpler styling
* fix(mcp): resolve race condition when updating Cline-specific MCP settings
Fixes a bug where toggling auto-approve for MCP tools or changing timeout
settings would cause the UI to flash and revert, making the toggles appear
unresponsive.
The root cause was a race condition between two state update mechanisms:
1. RPC Response: Returns updated servers immediately to the webview
2. File Watcher: Detects the settings file change and triggers a second
update ~100ms later, potentially overwriting the first
Additionally, the file watcher was triggering full server restarts even
for settings changes that don't affect the MCP transport connection.
Changes:
- Add `isUpdatingClineSettings` flag to skip file watcher processing
when we're making internal settings changes
- Add `configsRequireRestart()` method to distinguish between settings
that require server restart vs Cline-specific UI settings
- Only notify webview when actual connection changes occur
- Update in-memory state for timeout changes without server restart
- Add comprehensive documentation for future Cline-specific settings
* chore: add changeset
* fix: update comments and sync all Cline-specific settings in-memory
* feat: add background edit mode with webview diff display
- Replace editor-based diff preview with webview DiffEditRow component
- Remove unused partialPreviewState and related methods from ApplyPatchHandler
- Integrate FileEditProvider in Task for background file edits when enabled
- Add comprehensive Storybook stories for diff edit row states
Test Plan:
1. Go to Features Setting to turn on `Background Edit`
2. Start a task that would perform file edits
3. Verify the diff edits will be performed in the background instead of stealing focus from your editor
4. Verify the new stories in Storybook for the new DiffEditRow components

* refactor: banner system with data-driven architecture
Add new banner data structures and types to support a flexible, backend-driven
banner system. This enables dynamic banner management while maintaining
consistent UI rendering.
Changes:
- Add BannerCardData interface for banner configuration with support for icons,
severity levels, actions, and platform/user filtering
- Add BannerActionType enum defining action handlers (link, settings, CLI
install, model selection)
- Add BannerAction interface for button/link definitions
- Refactor banner rendering logic to use data-driven approach instead of
hardcoded implementations
- Update BannerCarousel component to handle new action types dynamically
This allows the backend to construct banner JSON that the frontend renders
consistently through the BannerCarousel component when ready.
* apply feedback
* update e2e test
* Add BackendBanner struct with converter
* clean up types
* clean up
- Remove hardcoded shouldEnableReasoning check in AwsBedrockHandler
- Use modelInfo.supportsReasoning from metadata to determine if reasoning should be enabled
- Update src/shared/api.ts to include supportsReasoning: true for all relevant Bedrock models (Claude 3.7, 3.5 Sonnet/Haiku, Opus, and 1m variants)
- Ensure consistency with other providers by keeping model capabilities in metadata
* feat: make banner providers filtering determined by what is selected instead of existing provider keys
* refactor: address feedback, use default case for string comparison
Add backgroundEditEnabled setting to global state and settings infrastructure.
This includes:
- Proto definition for the update settings request
- State management in controller and state helpers
- Extension state interface updates
- Default value of false in webview context
Building block for ENG-1367. Setting is not yet used in the UI or anywhere in the app yet. It will be done in the follow-up PR where the feature is implemented.
- Add error_level field to telemetry proto messages
- Move getConfiguration usage from core services to vscode hostbridge provider
- Remove migrateDisableBrowserToolSetting and migrateChromeExecutablePathSetting methods
- Remove direct vscode imports from core/task and services/browser
- Update getTelemetrySettings to retrieve and return telemetryLevel from vscode config
This refactoring centralizes vscode-specific configuration access in the hostbridge provider layer, improving separation of concerns and making core services less coupled to the vscode API. Plus the cline configurations has already been set to be empty in the package.json for vs code extension.
Add early return in WriteToFileToolHandler catch block when tool has
already failed once during streaming when enableParallelToolCalling is not enabled. This prevents the same error
message from being repeatedly added to userMessages array on each
new streaming chunk received.
* Refactor Anthropic handler to use metadata for cache_control behavior
Replace hardcoded switch statement with model.info.supportsPromptCache check, following the same pattern as OpenAI Native and Vertex providers.
* Refactor Anthropic handler to use metadata for reasoning support
Replace modelId substring checks with model.info.supportsReasoning flag, and add supportsReasoning: true to all models that support extended thinking (3-7, 4-, 4-5).
When YOLO mode is enabled and the maximum consecutive mistakes
threshold is reached, automatically fail the task instead of
waiting for user input. This prevents the task from hanging
indefinitely in automated/unattended scenarios.
Displays an error message suggesting to use a more capable model
and ends the task loop with a failure signal.
- Add check for yoloModeToggled flag to prevent waiting for user input
- Auto-respond with tool usage instructions when in yolo mode
- Log the auto-response action for transparency
- Maintain existing functionality for non-yolo mode operations
* Improve Model Picker Modal UI and provider persistence
* Replace fuzzy search with multi-word substring matching in model picker
* feat(model-picker): add thinking slider, provider dropdown portal, and UI improvements
- Add thinking budget slider with min/max constraints
- Render provider dropdown via portal with flip logic for positioning
- Add getProviderInfo helper for settings-only providers
- Use ArrowLeftRight icon for plan/act split toggle
- Close provider list when typing in search
- Fix selection backgrounds with linear-gradient layering
- Improve row heights and icon positioning
* refactor(model-picker): replace Fuse.js with multi-word substring search

- Ensure responsive design and maintainability with updated styled components
* fix(modals): align modal widths with chat content and fix z-index
- Reduced modal inset from 15px to 10px to match chat content width
- Lowered modal z-index from 1000 to 49 so tooltips appear on top
- Adjusted modal positioning for consistency across all three modals
* fix(model-picker): update icon usage and tooltip content for thinking and split modes
- Replace Sparkles icon with Brain for extended thinking toggle
- Update tooltip messages to reflect current functionality for thinking and split modes
- Adjust padding in provider list item for better alignment

* refactor(modals): extract shared PopupModalContainer component
Consolidates duplicated modal container styling into a reusable component.
Removes ~130 lines of redundant code across ModelPickerModal, ServersToggleModal,
and ClineRulesToggleModal.
- Add side spacing for small viewports (calc(100%-2rem) instead of w-full)
- Apply rounded corners at all viewport sizes (not just sm:)
- Remove redundant "NEW" badge (title already says "New in v...")
- Remove redundant "Dismiss" button (X close button is sufficient)
- Reduce excess bottom padding for tighter layout
- Add cursor-pointer to dialog close button for better UX
- Clean up unused imports (PLATFORM_CONFIG, PlatformType, isVscode)
GLM models output thinking content in text tags when reasoning is enabled, which is not currently supported by the UI. Disabling reasoning for these models ensures cleaner output.
* fix: restore local MCP server connections blocked by enterprise config logic
The enterprise MCP allowlist feature (commit 3409fa744) inadvertently
blocked all local stdio-based MCP servers for regular users.
The bug: the validation logic applied enterprise restrictions to everyone
by default, when it should only apply when enterprise config is present.
* chore: add changeset
- Add snapshot file for native tools returned by system prompt getter function
- Remove inline comment from test:unit npm script that was breaking the command "npm run test:unit -- --update-snapshots"
Introduces a "Value or Provider" pattern to tool specifications, allowing the `instruction` field to be either a static string or a function of `SystemPromptContext`. This enables dynamic configuration of tool prompts based on runtime context (e.g., user settings) without hardcoding logic in the prompt builder.
- Updated `ClineToolSpecParameter` to support `string | ((context) => string)`

- Add dummy thought signature fallback for Gemini API when signature is missing
- Filter out thinking blocks without signatures before sending to Anthropic API
- Update signature field cleaning to apply to non-thinking blocks only
- Remove unused DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS constant
This ensures proper message conversion between providers by using Gemini's
documented dummy signature "skip_thought_signature_validator" when original
signature is unavailable, and prevents invalid thinking blocks from being
sent to Anthropic's API which requires valid signatures.
Move provider list inside scrollable container and hide model content
when provider list is expanded. This improves UX by preventing layout
overflow and providing cleaner visual separation between provider
selection and model browsing states.

Previously, tool results were tracked using the tool name as a key. This caused a critical bug during parallel tool execution: if the same tool (e.g., `read_file`) was called multiple times in a single turn, subsequent calls would overwrite the previous ones in the `toolUseIdMap`. This resulted in missing tool results for all but the last call.
This commit changes the tracking mechanism to use the unique `call_id` provided by the LLM as the key. This ensures that every tool call is tracked independently, regardless of the tool name.
Specific changes:
- Updated `toolUseIdMap` in `Task.ts` to store `call_id -> tool_id` instead of `tool_name -> tool_id`.
- Updated `ToolResultUtils.ts` to retrieve tool IDs using `block.call_id`.
- Removed legacy MCP-specific logic that manually mapped the generic `use_mcp_tool` name to an ID. This is no longer necessary (and would be incorrect) as MCP tools now also use the robust `call_id` tracking, enabling parallel execution for them as well.
* feat: add experimental parallel tool calling support

in a single response. This is automatically enabled for GPT-5 models.
- Add enableParallelToolCalling setting (off by default)
- Conditionally enforce didAlreadyUseTool flag based on setting
- Move checkpoint from per-tool to per-response
- Add UI toggle in Feature Settings section

The Claude Code CLI returns tool arguments as complete objects, but the
StreamResponseHandler expects string chunks for streaming. This caused
tool calls to fail with "missing parameter" errors because the object
was being concatenated with a string, resulting in "[object Object]".
This change stringifies the tool arguments in the Claude Code provider
before yielding them, ensuring they are correctly parsed by the
StreamResponseHandler.

* fix: prevent logout on network errors during token refresh
When network errors occur at startup (e.g., opening laptop while offline),
users were being logged out because the token refresh failed and returned
null to AuthService.
Now on network errors or max retries exceeded, we return the stored auth
data instead of clearing the session. This keeps users logged in with
their existing credentials. If the token is truly invalid, the actual API
request will fail later when the user tries to use Cline, rather than
logging them out preemptively at startup.
* chore: add changeset
This change removes hardcoded switch statements in VertexHandler and moves model-specific configurations (like reasoning support and prompt caching) into the centralized model metadata in src/shared/api.ts.
Benefits:

Move VSCode terminal impls into the src/hosts/vscode package. The VSCode specific code needs to be contained in this directory.
The `src/shared` package is for things shared with the extension and the _webview_; everything in src/ that's _not_ under `src/hosts` is shared with VSCode, JB, CLI implicitly.

* feat(terminal): add shared terminal types and interfaces
Add shared terminal module with types and interfaces that enable
terminal management across VSCode, CLI, and JetBrains environments.
- Define ITerminal, ITerminalManager, and TerminalInfo interfaces
- Add TerminalProcessResultPromise for async command execution
- Include StandaloneTerminalOptions for non-VSCode environments
- Prepare module structure for standalone implementations
* feat(terminal): export standalone terminal implementations
Enable exports for standalone terminal classes that were previously
commented out as placeholders:
- StandaloneTerminal
- StandaloneTerminalManager
- StandaloneTerminalProcess
- StandaloneTerminalRegistry
These implementations are now ready for use outside the terminal module.
* fix: resolve TerminalInfo type incompatibility in settings update
- Remove unused TerminalInfo import from both updateSettings files
- Use `as any` cast to handle type mismatch between VSCode and standalone TerminalInfo
- Replace busyTerminals array with busyTerminalsCount to avoid type issues
- Add null-safe access when getting busy terminals length
* feat: import StandaloneTerminalManager from bundled cline-core
Replace standalone enhanced-terminal.js with import from the bundled
TypeScript version in cline-core.js. This consolidates terminal
management code and removes the need to separately include the
runtime file in the VS Code extension package.
- Re-export StandaloneTerminalManager from cline-core.ts
- Update vscode-impls.js to import from cline-core.js
- Remove .vscodeignore exception for enhanced-terminal.js
* feat: simplify standalone terminal manager initialization
Replace global injection pattern with environment variable detection
for determining terminal execution mode. The Task class now directly
instantiates StandaloneTerminalManager when IS_STANDALONE=true instead
of relying on a globally injected instance.
- Remove StandaloneTerminalManager re-export from cline-core.ts
- Simplify vscode-impls.js createTerminal to return stub object
- Use IS_STANDALONE env var for terminal manager selection in Task
- Remove global.standaloneTerminalManager injection pattern

- Extract ITerminalManager interface to shared/terminal/types for abstraction
- Refactor TerminalManager to implement ITerminalManager interface
- Create StandaloneTerminalManager for non-VSCode environments
- Update TerminalRegistry to use ITerminalManager via HostProvider
- Enable terminal management to work across different host environments
* feat: refactor terminal manager to use ITerminalManager interface
- Replace concrete TerminalManager/StandaloneTerminalManager types with ITerminalManager interface
- Use HostProvider.createTerminalManager() for host-agnostic terminal creation
- Simplify terminal execution mode logic in Task constructor
- Add dynamic imports for StandaloneTerminalManager when backgroundExec mode is used
- Improve logging for terminal manager selection
Add validation to ensure native tool calling is enabled when using
OpenAI Responses API format. Previously, the code would silently fall
back to completion stream when tools were not provided, which could
lead to unexpected behavior.
- Add explicit error when tools are missing for Responses API format
- Update tools parameter type to non-optional in createResponseStream
- Split shell commands to avoid parsing issues with parentheses in author names
- Clarify that hotfixes always use patch version bumps
- Add (hotfix) suffix to release notes commit message format

description: Create a GitHub pull request following project conventions. Use when the user asks to create a PR, submit changes for review, or open a pull request. Handles commit analysis, branch management, PR template usage, and PR creation using the gh CLI tool.
---
# Create Pull Request
This skill guides you through creating a well-structured GitHub pull request that follows project conventions and best practices.
## Prerequisites Check
Before proceeding, verify the following:
### 1. Check if `gh` CLI is installed
```bash
gh --version
```
If not installed, inform the user:
> The GitHub CLI (`gh`) is required but not installed. Please install it:
> - macOS: `brew install gh`
> - Other: https://cli.github.com/
### 2. Check if authenticated with GitHub
```bash
gh auth status
```
If not authenticated, guide the user to run `gh auth login`.
### 3. Verify clean working directory
```bash
git status
```
If there are uncommitted changes, ask the user whether to:
- Commit them as part of this PR
- Stash them temporarily
- Discard them (with caution)
## Gather Context
### 1. Identify the current branch
```bash
git branch --show-current
```
Ensure you're not on `main` or `master`. If so, ask the user to create or switch to a feature branch.
### 2. Find the base branch
```bash
git remote show origin | grep "HEAD branch"
```
This is typically `main` or `master`.
### 3. Analyze recent commits relevant to this PR
```bash
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline --no-decorate
```
Review these commits to understand:
- What changes are being introduced
- The scope of the PR (single feature/fix or multiple changes)
- Whether commits should be squashed or reorganized
### 4. Review the diff
```bash
git diff origin/main..HEAD --stat
```
This shows which files changed and helps identify the type of change.
## Information Gathering
Before creating the PR, you need the following information. Check if it can be inferred from:
- Commit messages
- Branch name (e.g., `fix/issue-123`, `feature/new-login`)
- Changed files and their content
If any critical information is missing, use `ask_followup_question` to ask the user:
### Required Information
1.**Related Issue Number**: Look for patterns like `#123`, `fixes #123`, or `closes #123` in commit messages
2.**Description**: What problem does this solve? Why were these changes made?
3.**Type of Change**: Bug fix, new feature, breaking change, refactor, cosmetic, documentation, or workflow
4.**Test Procedure**: How was this tested? What could break?
### Example clarifying question
If the issue number is not found:
> I couldn't find a related issue number in the commit messages or branch name. What GitHub issue does this PR address? (Enter the issue number, e.g., "123" or "N/A" for small fixes)
## Git Best Practices
Before creating the PR, consider these best practices:
### Commit Hygiene
1.**Atomic commits**: Each commit should represent a single logical change
2.**Clear commit messages**: Follow conventional commit format when possible
3.**No merge commits**: Prefer rebasing over merging to keep history clean
### Branch Management
1.**Rebase on latest main** (if needed):
```bash
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main
```
2. **Squash if appropriate**: If there are many small "WIP" commits, consider interactive rebase:
```bash
git rebase -i origin/main
```
Only suggest this if commits appear messy and the user is comfortable with rebasing.
### Push Changes
Ensure all commits are pushed:
```bash
git push origin HEAD
```
If the branch was rebased, you may need:
```bash
git push origin HEAD --force-with-lease
```
## Create the Pull Request
**IMPORTANT**: Read and use the PR template at `.github/pull_request_template.md`. The PR body format must **strictly match** the template structure. Do not deviate from the template format.
When filling out the template:
- Replace `#XXXX` with the actual issue number, or keep as `#XXXX` if no issue exists (for small fixes)
- Fill in all sections with relevant information gathered from commits and context
- Mark the appropriate "Type of Change" checkbox(es)
- Complete the "Pre-flight Checklist" items that apply
### Create PR with gh CLI
**Use a temporary file for the PR body** to avoid shell escaping issues, newline problems, and other command-line flakiness:
1. Write the PR body to a temporary file:
```
/tmp/pr-body.md
```
2. Create the PR using the file:
```bash
gh pr create --title "PR_TITLE" --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md --base main
```
3. Clean up the temporary file:
```bash
rm /tmp/pr-body.md
```
For draft PRs:
```bash
gh pr create --title "PR_TITLE" --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md --base main --draft
```
**Why use a file?** Passing complex markdown with newlines, special characters, and checkboxes directly via `--body` is error-prone. The `--body-file` flag handles all content reliably.
## Post-Creation
After creating the PR:
1. **Display the PR URL** so the user can review it
2. **Remind about CI checks**: Tests and linting will run automatically
3. **Suggest next steps**:
- Add reviewers if needed: `gh pr edit --add-reviewer USERNAME`
- Add labels if needed: `gh pr edit --add-label "bug"`
## Error Handling
### Common Issues
1. **No commits ahead of main**: The branch has no changes to submit
- Ask if the user meant to work on a different branch
2. **Branch not pushed**: Remote doesn't have the branch
- Push the branch first: `git push -u origin HEAD`
3. **PR already exists**: A PR for this branch already exists
- Show the existing PR: `gh pr view`
- Ask if they want to update it instead
4. **Merge conflicts**: Branch conflicts with base
- Guide user through resolving conflicts or rebasing
## Summary Checklist
Before finalizing, ensure:
- [ ] `gh` CLI is installed and authenticated
- [ ] Working directory is clean
- [ ] All commits are pushed
- [ ] Branch is up-to-date with base branch
- [ ] Related issue number is identified, or placeholder is used
The CLI lives in `cli/` and uses React Ink for terminal UI.
- If needed, look at `cli/src/constants/colors.ts` for re-used terminal colors, e.g. `COLORS.primaryBlue` highlight color (selections, spinners, success states).
- Never use `dimColor` with gray (e.g. `<Text color="gray" dimColor>`) - it's too hard to read. Use `color="gray"` for secondary text and normal foreground (no color) for primary text.
- When thinking about how to handle state or messages from core, look at webview for how it communicates with the vs code extension.
- When updating the webview, consider and suggest to the user to update the CLI TUI since we want to provide a similar experience to our terminal users as we do our vs code extension users.
## Adding New API Providers
When adding a new API provider to the extension, you must also update the CLI:
1.**Update `cli/src/components/ModelPicker.tsx`**: Add the provider to the `providerModels` map so `getDefaultModelId()` returns the correct default model. Import the models and default ID from `@shared/api`:
```typescript
import { newProviderDefaultModelId, newProviderModels } from "@/shared/api"
2. **Use `applyProviderConfig()` for auth flows**: When implementing OAuth or other auth flows for the provider, use the shared utility at `cli/src/utils/provider-config.ts`:
```typescript
import { applyProviderConfig } from "../utils/provider-config"
This handles setting provider, default model, API key mapping, state persistence, and rebuilding the API handler.
3. **Provider-specific auth**: If the provider uses OAuth (like `openai-codex`), add handling in `SettingsPanelContent.tsx`'s `handleProviderSelect` callback. See the existing Codex OAuth flow as a reference.
This file is the secret sauce for working effectively in this codebase. It captures tribal knowledge—the nuanced, non-obvious patterns that make the difference between a quick fix and hours of back-and-forth & human intervention.
**When to add to this file:**
- User had to intervene, correct, or hand-hold
- Multiple back-and-forth attempts were needed to get something working
- You discovered something that required reading many files to understand
- A change touched files you wouldn't have guessed
- Something worked differently than you expected
- User explicitly asks to "add this to CLAUDE.md"
**Proactively suggest additions** when any of the above happen—don't wait to be asked.
**What NOT to add:** Stuff you can figure out from reading a few files, obvious patterns, or standard practices. This file should be high-signal, not comprehensive.
## Miscellaneous
- This is a VS Code extension—check `package.json` for available scripts before trying to verify builds (e.g., `npm run compile`, not `npm run build`).
- When creating PRs, contributors should not create changelog-entry files. Maintainers handle release versioning and changelog curation during the release process.
- When adding new feature flags, see this PR as a reference https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/7566
- Additional instructions about making requests: @.clinerules/network.md
## gRPC/Protobuf Communication
The extension and webview communicate via gRPC-like protocol over VS Code message passing.
**Proto files live in `proto/`** (e.g., `proto/cline/task.proto`, `proto/cline/ui.proto`)
- Each feature domain has its own `.proto` file
- For simple data, use shared types in `proto/cline/common.proto` (`StringRequest`, `Empty`, `Int64Request`)
- For complex data, define custom messages in the feature's `.proto` file
When adding a new provider (e.g., "openai-codex"), you must update the proto conversion layer in THREE places or the provider will silently reset to Anthropic:
1.`proto/cline/models.proto` - Add to the `ApiProvider` enum (e.g., `OPENAI_CODEX = 40;`)
2.`convertApiProviderToProto()` in `src/shared/proto-conversions/models/api-configuration-conversion.ts` - Add case mapping string to proto enum
3.`convertProtoToApiProvider()` in the same file - Add case mapping proto enum back to string
**Why this matters:** Without these, the provider string hits the `default` case and returns `ANTHROPIC`. The webview, provider list, and handler all work fine, but the state silently resets when it round-trips through proto serialization. No error is thrown.
**Other files to update when adding a provider:**
-`src/shared/api.ts` - Add to `ApiProvider` union type, define models
-`src/shared/providers/providers.json` - Add to provider list for dropdown
-`src/core/api/index.ts` - Register handler in `createHandlerForProvider()`
-`webview-ui/src/components/settings/utils/providerUtils.ts` - Add cases in `getModelsForProvider()` and `normalizeApiConfiguration()`
-`webview-ui/src/utils/validate.ts` - Add validation case
## Responses API Providers (OpenAI Codex, OpenAI Native)
Providers using OpenAI's Responses API require native tool calling. XML tools don't work with the Responses API.
**Symptoms of broken native tool calling:**
- Tools get called multiple times (e.g., `ask_followup_question` asks the same question twice)
- Tool arguments get duplicated or malformed
- The model responds but tools aren't recognized
**Root causes to check:**
1.**Provider missing from `isNextGenModelProvider()`** in `src/utils/model-utils.ts`. The native variant matchers (e.g., `native-gpt-5/config.ts`) call this function. If your provider isn't in the list, the matcher returns false and falls back to XML tools.
2.**Model missing `apiFormat: ApiFormat.OPENAI_RESPONSES`** in its model info (`src/shared/api.ts`). This property signals that the model requires native tool calling. The task runner in `src/core/task/index.ts` checks this and forces `enableNativeToolCalls: true` regardless of user settings.
**When adding a new Responses API provider:**
1. Add provider to `isNextGenModelProvider()` list in `src/utils/model-utils.ts`
2. Set `apiFormat: ApiFormat.OPENAI_RESPONSES` on all models that use the Responses API
3. The variant matcher and task runner will handle the rest automatically
## Adding Tools to System Prompt
This is tricky—multiple prompt variants and configs. **Always search for existing similar tools first and follow their pattern.** Look at the full chain from prompt definition → variant configs → handler → UI before implementing.
1.**Add to `ClineDefaultTool` enum** in `src/shared/tools.ts`
2.**Tool definition** in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/` (create file like `generate_explanation.ts`)
- Define variants for each `ModelFamily` (generic, next-gen, xs, etc.)
- **Fallback behavior**: If a variant isn't defined for a model family, `ClineToolSet.getToolByNameWithFallback()` automatically falls back to GENERIC. So you only need to export `[GENERIC]` unless the tool needs model-specific behavior.
3.**Register in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/init.ts`** - Import and spread into `allToolVariants`
4.**Add to variant configs** - Each model family has its own config in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/variants/*/config.ts`. Add your tool's enum to the `.tools()` list:
**How overrides work:** Variants can override components via `componentOverrides` in their `config.ts`, or provide a custom template in `template.ts` (e.g., `next-gen/template.ts` exports `rules_template`). If no override, the shared component from `components/` is used.
**Example: Adding a rule to RULES section**
1. Check if variant overrides rules: look for `rules_template` in `variants/*/template.ts` or `componentOverrides.RULES` in `config.ts`
2. If shared: modify `components/rules.ts`
3. If overridden: modify that variant's template
4. XS variant is special—has heavily condensed inline content in `template.ts`
**After any changes, regenerate snapshots:**
```bash
UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=true npm run test:unit
```
Snapshots live in `__tests__/__snapshots__/`. Tests validate across model families and context variations (browser, MCP, focus chain).
Adding a new key to global state requires updates in multiple places. Missing any step causes silent failures.
Required steps:
1. Type definition in `src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts` - Add to `GlobalState` or `Settings` interface
2. Read from globalState in `src/core/storage/utils/state-helpers.ts`:
- Add `const myKey = context.globalState.get<GlobalStateAndSettings["myKey"]>("myKey")` in `readGlobalStateFromDisk()`
- Add to the return object: `myKey: myKey ?? defaultValue,`
3. StateManager handles read/write via `setGlobalState()`/`getGlobalStateKey()` after initialization
Common mistake: Adding only the return value without the `context.globalState.get()` call. This compiles but the value is always `undefined` on load.
Settings plumbing gotcha: if a key is user-toggleable from settings, wire both controller update paths:
-`src/core/controller/state/updateSettings.ts` for webview `updateSetting(...)`
-`src/core/controller/state/updateSettingsCli.ts` for CLI/ACP settings updates
Missing one path causes a toggle to appear to change in one surface while the backend state stays unchanged.
Webview toggle gotcha: settings changes must also round-trip back in state payloads.
- Add the field to `UpdateSettingsRequest` in `proto/cline/state.proto` (for webview update requests), then run `npm run protos`
- Include the key in `Controller.getStateToPostToWebview()` (`src/core/controller/index.ts`)
- Ensure `ExtensionState` and webview defaults include the key (`src/shared/ExtensionMessage.ts`, `webview-ui/src/context/ExtensionStateContext.tsx`)
If this round-trip wiring is missing, the backend value can update but the toggle in webview appears stuck or reverts.
## StateManager Cache vs Direct globalState Access
StateManager uses an in-memory cache populated during `StateManager.initialize(context)` in `common.ts`. For most state, use `controller.stateManager.setGlobalState()`/`getGlobalStateKey()`.
Exception: State needed immediately at extension startup (before cache is ready)
When Window A sets state and immediately opens Window B, the new window's StateManager cache is populated from `context.globalState` during initialization. If you need to read state in Window B right at startup (e.g., in `common.ts` during `initialize()`), read directly from `context.globalState.get()` instead of StateManager's cache.
Example pattern (see `lastShownAnnouncementId` and `worktreeAutoOpenPath`):
This is only needed for cross-window state read during the brief startup window before StateManager cache is fully usable. Normal state access after initialization should use StateManager.
## ChatRow Cancelled/Interrupted States
When a ChatRow displays a loading/in-progress state (spinner), you must handle what happens when the task is cancelled. This is non-obvious because cancellation doesn't update the message content—you have to infer it from context.
**The pattern:**
1. A message has a `status` field (e.g., `"generating"`, `"complete"`, `"error"`) stored in `message.text` as JSON
2. When cancelled mid-operation, the status stays `"generating"` forever—no one updates it
3. To detect cancellation, check TWO conditions:
-`!isLast` — if this message is no longer the last message, something else happened after it (interrupted)
-`lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task" || "resume_completed_task"` — task was just cancelled and is waiting to resume
-`!isLast` catches: cancelled → resumed → did other stuff → this old message is stale
-`lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task"` catches: just cancelled, hasn't resumed yet, this message is still technically "last"
**See also:**`BrowserSessionRow.tsx` uses similar pattern with `isLastApiReqInterrupted` and `isLastMessageResume`.
**Backend side:** When streaming is cancelled, clean up properly (close tabs, clear comments, etc.) by checking `taskState.abort` after the streaming function returns.
Global settings, secrets and workspace state are stored in **file-backed JSON stores** under `~/.cline/data/`. This is the shared storage layer used by VSCode, CLI, and JetBrains.
In-memory cache on top of `StorageContext`. All runtime reads hit the cache; writes update cache immediately and debounce-flush to disk.
## ⚠️ Do NOT Use VSCode's ExtensionContext for Storage
**Do not** read from or write to `context.globalState`, `context.workspaceState`, or `context.secrets` for persistent data. These are VSCode-specific and not available on CLI or JetBrains.
Remember that your data may be read by a different client than the one that wrote it. For example, a value written by Cline in JetBrains may be read by Cline CLI.
On VSCode startup, a migration copies data from VSCode's `ExtensionContext` storage into the file-backed stores. This runs in `src/common.ts` before `StateManager.initialize()`.
- **Sentinel**: `__vscodeMigrationVersion` key in global state and workspace state — prevents re-migration.
- **Merge strategy**: File store wins. Existing values are never overwritten.
- **Safe downgrade**: VSCode storage is NOT cleared, so older extension versions still work.
## Adding New Storage Keys
1. Add to `src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts` (see existing patterns)
2. Read/write via `StateManager` (NOT via `context.globalState`)
3. If adding a secret, add to `SecretKeys` array in `state-keys.ts`

</changeset-pr-description>
The changeset pr is ALWAYS on the following branch: `changeset-release/main`.
I have the `gh` command line tool set up and authenticated, so you have everything you need.
The first step is to get the full diff from the changeset PR to look at the changes that were automatically made to the `CHANGELOG.md` file. By default it will automatically add a new section to the changelog.md file with the new version. The problem with the automatically generated section is that it just takes the text that the developers threw into their changeset files for each corresponding PR, and they can be pretty vague and bad. Additionally there's some stuff that is totally irrelevant for the end user, like minor refactoring changes. So I manually typically go in and update this section to be a proper changelog that will show up in our patchnotes. You can look at how the rest of the file is done because those are all good examples of us updating this to use good language for the end user. We usually put new features up top (and the most exciting flagship features at the very top), and then bug fixes/improvements at the bottom. Having some basic organization to the ordering of the bullet points by content is nice. But use common sense.
To handle this process effectively, do the following:
For each of the automatically generated bullet points in the Changelog.md, you should
1. Take the commit hash at the start of the bullet point, and use the `gh` command line tool find the PR that it was associated with.
2. Use the `gh` command to get the PR title/description/discussion to understand the context surrounding the PR.
3. Use the `gh` command line tool to get the full PR diff to fully understand the changes made in the code.
4. Synthesize that knowledge to determine (a) whether or not this change is relevant to end users and (b) what the text & ordering of the line should be.
5. Update the `CHANGELOG.md` accordingly
Do this for every single item in the list from the autogenerated bullet points. We want to be diligent and have a full understanding of every feature so we can make the best changelog ever!
Here are some principles for good changelogs from keepchangelog.com, a handy guide:
<keepachangelog-pinciples-for-good-changelogs>
### Guiding Principles
- Changelogs are for humans, not machines.
- There should be an entry for every single version.
- The same types of changes should be grouped.
- The latest version comes first.
### Bullet points in the changelog should follow these principles:
- Types of changes
- Added for new features.
- Changed for changes in existing functionality.
- Deprecated for soon-to-be removed features.
- Removed for now removed features.
- Fixed for any bug fixes.
- Security in case of vulnerabilities.
</keepachangelog-pinciples-for-good-changelogs>
Lastly, when developers make a PR, they typically make a changeset. And they have 3 options when making the changeset:
1. Patch
2. Minor
3. Major
Sometimes they label something as minor when really it should just be a patch. Or vice versa. Because of this, the automatic version bump may be incorrect. So when starting out this workflow, you should use the <ask_followup_question> tool to confirm with me whether or not this should be a patch bump (show the old version number and what the proposed new version number would be) or a minor bump. Part of the release process is making sure the version in package.json that is automatically changed actually corresponds with what we decided the bump should actually be based on the features. ALL these modifications happen in the `changeset-release/main` branch btw.
<important_note>
Before doing any of this, make sure you check out the `changeset-release/main` and pull the most recent up to date changes. Then perform all this work in that branch.
New announcement banners should ONLY be made for minor version bumps or higher. That's another reason why double checking if the changelog warrants the bump is important.
Also, SUPER important: For any external contributors that aren't part of the cline github organization, we always want to add a (Thanks @username!) at the end of the changelog to attribute them properly. We're an open source project and it's ethical to do this.
</important_note>
Once the changelog looks good, and the version number looks good, we gotta double check that the version number in the changelog has the brackets around it. And as a final step, double check the package.json version number matches the latest number in the changelog. And as the ultimate final step we run `npm run install:all` to make sure the package version number permiates through the lock file.
<detailed_sequence_of_steps>
# Cline Release Process - Detailed Sequence of Steps
## Before Starting
1. First, examine the changeset PR without checking it out:
```bash
gh pr view changeset-release/main
```
2. View the PR diff to see the auto-generated CHANGELOG.md changes:
# Check if user is a member of the Cline organization
# this command is a bit finnicky, but it 100% works.
# if you see a `Error executing command: The command ran successfully, but we couldn't capture its output. Please proceed accordingly.` error, just retry it until you actually get the output
# don't make any assumptions, just retry the command to actually get the output and determine if they're external or not.
# no output means they are an external contributor, otherwise if there is output they are an internal contributor (part of our github org)
gh api "orgs/cline/members" --jq "map(.login)" | grep -i "pashpashpash"
```
d. View the full PR diff to understand code changes:
```bash
gh pr diff <PR-number> > pr-diff-<PR-number>.txt
cat pr-diff-<PR-number>.txt
```
## Updating the Changelog
5. Based on PR analysis, update the CHANGELOG.md with user-friendly descriptions:
- Use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to edit the CHANGELOG.md file
- Group by feature type (Added, Changed, Fixed)
- Put most exciting features at the top
- Move bug fixes and small improvements to the bottom
- Use clear, end-user focused language
- For external contributors, add attribution at the end of the relevant entry: `(Thanks @username!)`
## Version Number Verification
6. Confirm the version bump is appropriate:
- Check package.json to verify the auto-generated version number:
```bash
cat package.json | grep "\"version\""
```
- If the feature set doesn't warrant a minor bump, use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to modify package.json
7. Ensure the version in CHANGELOG.md has brackets around it:
```
## [3.16.0]
```
## Creating the Announcement (for minor/major versions only)
8. If this is a minor version bump, create/update the announcement component:
- Use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to edit the src/views/components/announcement.tsx file
- Update the highlights based on key features
- Move previous version highlights to the "Previous Updates" section
- Use the previous announcement components as reference for structure
## Finalizing the Release
9. Update dependencies with the new version number:
Also get the commit messages already on the tag (to identify previously cherry-picked commits). Note: Run these as separate commands to avoid shell parsing issues with parentheses in author names:
```bash
LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
PREV_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -2 | tail -1)
**Present the list** to the user in a numbered format with commit hash, subject, and author. For any commits whose subject line already appears in the tag's history (previously cherry-picked in an earlier hotfix) or are "Release Notes" commits, add `(already in previous hotfix)` or `(release notes - skip)` after them so the user knows to skip those.
Ask which commits to include in the hotfix.
Use the ask_followup_question tool to let the user specify which commits they want (by number or hash).
## Step 3: Analyze Selected Commits
For each selected commit:
1. Get the full commit message: `git show --no-patch --format="%B" <hash>`
2. Get the diff to understand the change: `git show <hash> --stat`
3. Find the associated PR if any: `gh pr list --search "<hash>" --state merged --json number,title --jq '.[0]'`
Build a mental model of what these changes do for the changelog.
## Step 4: Determine New Version Number
Parse the current version from package.json and the last tag:
```bash
LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
echo"Last release: $LAST_TAG"
cat package.json | grep '"version"'
```
Hotfixes always increment the patch version (e.g., 3.40.0 -> 3.40.1, or 3.40.1 -> 3.40.2).
**Ask the user to confirm the new version number.**
## Step 5: Create Release Notes Commit on Main
On the main branch, create a commit that updates:
1.**CHANGELOG.md** - Add a new section for the hotfix version at the top:
```markdown
## [3.40.1]
- Description of fix 1
- Description of fix 2
```
Write clear, user-friendly descriptions based on your analysis of the commits.
2. **package.json** - Update the version field to the new version
3. No changelog-entry file cleanup is needed. Contributors do not create changelog-entry files in this repo.
**Skip running `npm run install:all`** - release automation handles lockfile consistency as needed.
Commit with message format: `v{VERSION} Release Notes (hotfix)`
In the commit body, mention:
- This is for a hotfix release
- List the cherry-picked commits that will be included
```bash
git add CHANGELOG.md package.json
git commit -m "v3.40.1 Release Notes (hotfix)
Hotfix release including:
- <commit1-hash>: <description>
- <commit2-hash>: <description>
"
```
Push to main:
```bash
git push origin main
```
## Step 6: Build the Hotfix on the Tag
Checkout the last release tag (detached HEAD):
```bash
LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
git checkout $LAST_TAG
```
Cherry-pick the selected commits in order:
```bash
git cherry-pick <commit1-hash>
git cherry-pick <commit2-hash>
# ... etc
```
Finally, cherry-pick the release notes commit you just pushed to main:
```bash
# Get the hash of the release notes commit (should be HEAD of main)
RELEASE_NOTES_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse main)
git cherry-pick $RELEASE_NOTES_COMMIT
```
## Step 7: Tag and Push
After all cherry-picks are applied successfully:
```bash
# Tag the new release
git tag v{VERSION}
# Push the tag to remote
git push origin v{VERSION}
```
## Step 8: Return to Main and Summary
Return to main branch:
```bash
git checkout main
```
**Copy a Slack announcement message to clipboard** with the version and PR links for each included fix:
```
VS Code Hotfix v{VERSION} Published
- Description of fix 1 https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/{PR_NUMBER}
- Description of fix 2 https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/{PR_NUMBER}
```
Present a final summary:
- New version: v{VERSION}
- Tag pushed: yes
- Commits included: (list them)
- Slack message copied to clipboard: yes
Remind the user to:
1. Manually trigger the publish release GitHub Action at: https://github.com/cline/cline/actions/workflows/publish.yml (paste `v{VERSION}` as the tag)
2. Post the Slack message to announce the hotfix
## Important Notes
- This workflow does NOT create a release branch - only tags
- The release notes commit goes to main first, then gets cherry-picked to the tag
- This keeps main's history accurate while allowing hotfix releases from tags
- If cherry-pick conflicts occur, resolve them before continuing
So until the settings page is update, and this is added to settings in a way that's clean and doesn't confuse new users, I don't think we can merge this. Please bear with us.

<request_changes_comment>
Also, don't forget to add a changeset since this fixes a user-facing bug.
The architectural change is solid - moving the focus logic to the command handlers makes sense. Just don't want to introduce subtle timing issues by removing those timeouts.
- Adding enums (e.g. `ClineSay`) → also update `src/shared/proto-conversions/cline-message.ts`.
## Adding API Providers (silent failure risk)
Three proto conversion updates are **required** or the provider silently resets to Anthropic:
1.`proto/cline/models.proto` — add to `ApiProvider` enum.
2.`convertApiProviderToProto()` in `src/shared/proto-conversions/models/api-configuration-conversion.ts`.
3.`convertProtoToApiProvider()` in the same file.
Also update: `src/shared/api.ts`, `src/shared/providers/providers.json`, `src/core/api/index.ts`, `webview-ui/.../providerUtils.ts`, `webview-ui/.../validate.ts`, `webview-ui/.../ApiOptions.tsx`, and `cli/src/components/ModelPicker.tsx`.
For Responses API providers: add to `isNextGenModelProvider()` in `src/utils/model-utils.ts` and set `apiFormat: ApiFormat.OPENAI_RESPONSES` on models.
## Adding Tools to System Prompt (5+ file chain)
1. Add enum to `ClineDefaultTool` in `src/shared/tools.ts`.
2. Create definition in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/` (export `[GENERIC]` minimum).
3. Register in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/init.ts`.
4. Whitelist in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/variants/*/config.ts` for each model family.
5. Handler in `src/core/task/tools/handlers/`, wire in `ToolExecutor.ts`.
6. If tool has UI: add `ClineSay` enum in proto → `ExtensionMessage.ts` → `cline-message.ts` → `ChatRow.tsx`.
7. Regenerate snapshots: `UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=true npm run test:unit`.
## Modifying System Prompt
Modular: `components/` (shared) + `variants/` (model-specific) + `templates/` (`{{PLACEHOLDER}}`). Variants override components via `componentOverrides` in `config.ts` or custom `template.ts`. XS variant is heavily condensed inline. Always regenerate snapshots after changes.
## Global State Keys (silent failure risk)
Adding a key requires: type in `src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts`, read via `context.globalState.get()` in `src/core/storage/utils/state-helpers.ts``readGlobalStateFromDisk()`, and add to return object. Missing the `.get()` call compiles fine but value is always `undefined`.

This file is the secret sauce for working effectively in this codebase. It captures tribal knowledge—the nuanced, non-obvious patterns that make the difference between a quick fix and hours of back-and-forth & human intervention.
**When to add to this file:**
- User had to intervene, correct, or hand-hold
- Multiple back-and-forth attempts were needed to get something working
- You discovered something that required reading many files to understand
- A change touched files you wouldn't have guessed
- Something worked differently than you expected
- User explicitly asks to "add this to CLAUDE.md"
**Proactively suggest additions** when any of the above happen—don't wait to be asked.
**What NOT to add:** Stuff you can figure out from reading a few files, obvious patterns, or standard practices. This file should be high-signal, not comprehensive.
## gRPC/Protobuf Communication
The extension and webview communicate via gRPC-like protocol over VS Code message passing.
**Proto files live in `proto/`** (e.g., `proto/cline/task.proto`, `proto/cline/ui.proto`)
- Each feature domain has its own `.proto` file
- For simple data, use shared types in `proto/cline/common.proto` (`StringRequest`, `Empty`, `Int64Request`)
- For complex data, define custom messages in the feature's `.proto` file
This is tricky—multiple prompt variants and configs. **Always search for existing similar tools first and follow their pattern.** Look at the full chain from prompt definition → variant configs → handler → UI before implementing.
1.**Add to `ClineDefaultTool` enum** in `src/shared/tools.ts`
2.**Tool definition** in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/` (create file like `generate_explanation.ts`)
- Define variants for each `ModelFamily` (generic, next-gen, xs, etc.)
- **Fallback behavior**: If a variant isn't defined for a model family, `ClineToolSet.getToolByNameWithFallback()` automatically falls back to GENERIC. So you only need to export `[GENERIC]` unless the tool needs model-specific behavior.
3.**Register in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/init.ts`** - Import and spread into `allToolVariants`
4.**Add to variant configs** - Each model family has its own config in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/variants/*/config.ts`. Add your tool's enum to the `.tools()` list:
**How overrides work:** Variants can override components via `componentOverrides` in their `config.ts`, or provide a custom template in `template.ts` (e.g., `next-gen/template.ts` exports `rules_template`). If no override, the shared component from `components/` is used.
**Example: Adding a rule to RULES section**
1. Check if variant overrides rules: look for `rules_template` in `variants/*/template.ts` or `componentOverrides.RULES` in `config.ts`
2. If shared: modify `components/rules.ts`
3. If overridden: modify that variant's template
4. XS variant is special—has heavily condensed inline content in `template.ts`
**After any changes, regenerate snapshots:**
```bash
UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=true npm run test:unit
```
Snapshots live in `__tests__/__snapshots__/`. Tests validate across model families and context variations (browser, MCP, focus chain).
When a ChatRow displays a loading/in-progress state (spinner), you must handle what happens when the task is cancelled. This is non-obvious because cancellation doesn't update the message content—you have to infer it from context.
**The pattern:**
1. A message has a `status` field (e.g., `"generating"`, `"complete"`, `"error"`) stored in `message.text` as JSON
2. When cancelled mid-operation, the status stays `"generating"` forever—no one updates it
3. To detect cancellation, check TWO conditions:
-`!isLast` — if this message is no longer the last message, something else happened after it (interrupted)
-`lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task" || "resume_completed_task"` — task was just cancelled and is waiting to resume
-`!isLast` catches: cancelled → resumed → did other stuff → this old message is stale
-`lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task"` catches: just cancelled, hasn't resumed yet, this message is still technically "last"
**See also:**`BrowserSessionRow.tsx` uses similar pattern with `isLastApiReqInterrupted` and `isLastMessageResume`.
**Backend side:** When streaming is cancelled, clean up properly (close tabs, clear comments, etc.) by checking `taskState.abort` after the streaming function returns.

- 70a9904: Fix JetBrains sign-in regression by adding fallback for openExternal RPC
- f440f3a: fix: use vscode.env.openExternal for auth in remote environments
Fixes OAuth authentication in VS Code Server and remote environments by routing browser URL opening through VS Code's native openExternal API instead of the npm 'open' package.
- 70a9904: fix: use vscode.env.asExternalUri for auth callback URLs only in VS Code Web
Fixes OAuth callback redirect in VS Code Web (`code serve-web`, Codespaces) by using `vscode.env.asExternalUri()` to resolve the callback URI. This is gated behind a `vscode.env.uiKind === UIKind.Web` check so regular desktop VS Code continues to use the `vscode://` URI directly. The `getCallbackUrl` API now accepts a `path` parameter so the full callback URI (including route) is resolved correctly, and callers pass their path directly instead of appending after.

- 5dcaa8c: Add Vertex Claude Opus 4.6 1M model option and global endpoint support, and pass the 1M beta header for Vertex Claude requests.
The CLI directly imports and reuses the core Cline TypeScript codebase (the same code that powers the VS Code extension). This means feature parity is easy to maintain - when core gets updated, the CLI automatically benefits.
Unlike a client-server architecture, the CLI runs everything in a single Node.js process. The "host bridge" pattern provides terminal-appropriate implementations for things the VS Code extension would handle differently (clipboard, file dialogs, etc.).
### Key Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/index.ts` | Entry point, command definitions |
| `src/controllers/CliWebviewProvider.ts` | Bridges core messages to terminal output |
| `src/vscode-context.ts` | Mock VS Code extension context for core compatibility |
| `src/vscode-shim.ts` | Shims for VS Code APIs that core depends on |
| `src/constants/colors.ts` | Terminal color definitions |
### React Ink
The CLI uses [React Ink](https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink) for its terminal UI. This lets us build the interface with React components that render to the terminal. Key patterns:
- Components in `src/components/` render terminal UI
- Hooks in `src/hooks/` manage terminal-specific state (size, scrolling)
- The `useStateSubscriber` hook subscribes to core state changes
## Configuration
The CLI stores its data in `~/.cline/data/` by default:
-`globalState.json`: Global settings and state
-`secrets.json`: API keys and secrets
-`workspace/`: Workspace-specific state
-`tasks/`: Task history and conversation data
Override with the `--config` option or `CLINE_DIR` environment variable.
## Troubleshooting
### Build Errors
If you encounter build errors:
```bash
# Make sure all deps are installed
npm run install:all
# Regenerate proto types
npm run protos
# Then rebuild
npm run cli:build
```
### "command not found: cline"
The CLI isn't linked globally. Run:
```bash
npm run cli:link
```
### Changes Not Reflected
If your code changes aren't showing up:
1. Make sure watch mode is running (`npm run cli:dev`)
2. Check for TypeScript errors in the watch output
3. Try unlinking and relinking: `npm run cli:unlink && npm run cli:link`
### Import Errors from Core
The CLI imports from `@core/`, `@shared/`, etc. These paths are defined in the root `tsconfig.json`. If you see import errors, make sure you're building from the repo root, not from inside `cli/`.

**cline** is a command-line interface for the Cline AI coding assistant. It provides the same powerful AI capabilities as the VS Code extension, directly in your terminal.
**cline** is a command-line interface for orchestrating multiple Cline AI coding agents. Cline is an autonomous AI agent who can read, write, and execute code across your projects. He operates through a client-server architecture where **Cline Core** runs as a standalone service, and the CLI acts as a scriptable interface for managing tasks, instances, and agent interactions.
Cline is an autonomous AI agent that can read, write, and execute code across your projects. He can create and edit files, run terminal commands, use a headless browser, and more—all while asking for your approval before taking actions.
The CLI is designed for both interactive use and automation, making it ideal for CI/CD pipelines, parallel task execution, and terminal-based workflows. Multiple frontends (CLI, VSCode, JetBrains) can attach to the same Cline Core instance, enabling seamless task handoff between environments.
The CLI supports both interactive mode (with a rich terminal UI) and plain text mode (for piped input and scripted workflows).
# MODES OF OPERATION
**Instant Task Mode**
**Interactive Mode** : When you run **cline** without arguments, it launches an interactive welcome prompt with a rich terminal UI. You can type your task, view conversation history, and interact with Cline in real-time.
: The simplest invocation:**cline "prompt here"** immediately spawns an instance, creates a task, and enters chat mode. This is equivalent to running **cline instance new && cline task new && cline task chat** in sequence.
**Task Mode** : Run **cline "prompt"** or**cline task "prompt"** to immediately start a task. If stdin is a TTY, you'll see the interactive UI. If stdin is piped or output is redirected, the CLI automatically switches to plain text mode.
**Subcommand Mode**
: Advanced usage with explicit control: **cline \<command\> [subcommand] [options]** provides fine-grained control over instances, tasks, authentication, and configuration.
**Plain Text Mode** : Activated automatically when stdin is piped, output is redirected, or **\--json**/**\--yolo** flags are used. Outputs clean text without the Ink UI, suitable for scripting and CI/CD pipelines.
# AGENT BEHAVIOR
Cline operates in two primary modes:
**ACT MODE**
**ACT MODE** : Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks. He can read files, write code, execute commands, use a headless browser, and more. This is the default mode for task execution.
: Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks. He can read files, write code, execute commands, use a headless browser, and more. This is the default mode for task execution.
**PLAN MODE**
: Cline gathers information and creates a detailed plan before implementation. He explores the codebase, asks clarifying questions, and presents a strategy for user approval before switching to ACT MODE.
# INSTANT TASK OPTIONS
When using the instant task syntax **cline "prompt"** the following options are available:
**-o**, **\--oneshot**
: Full autonomous mode. Cline completes the task and stops following after completion. Example: cline -o "what's 6 + 8?"
**-s**, **\--setting** *setting**value*
: Override a setting for this task
**-y**, **\--no-interactive**, **\--yolo**
: Enable fully autonomous mode. Disables all interactivity:
- ask_followup_question tool is disabled
- attempt_completion happens automatically
- execute_command runs in non-blocking mode with timeout
**PLAN MODE** : Cline gathers information and creates a detailed plan before implementation. He explores the codebase, asks clarifying questions, and presents a strategy for user approval before switching to ACT MODE.
# COMMANDS

**cline auth** [*provider*] [*key*]
Run a new task with a prompt.
**cline a**[*provider*] [*key*]
**cline task***prompt* [*options*]

**-a**, **\--act** : Run in act mode (default)
Cline Core instances are independent agent processes that can run in the background. Multiple instances can run simultaneously, enabling parallel task execution.
**-p**, **\--plan** : Run in plan mode
**cline instance**
**-y**, **\--yolo** : Enable yolo/yes mode (auto-approve all actions, output in plain mode, exit process automatically when task complete)
**cline i**
**-t**, **\--timeout** *seconds* : Optional timeout in seconds. Only applied when explicitly provided.
: Display instance management help.
**-m**, **\--model** *model* : Model to use for the task
**cline instance new** [**-d**|**\--default**]
**-i**, **\--images** *paths...* : Image file paths to include with the task
**cline i n** [**-d**|**\--default**]
**-v**, **\--verbose** : Show verbose output including reasoning
: Spawn a new Cline Core instance. Use **\--default** to set it as the default instance for subsequent commands.
**-c**, **\--cwd** *path* : Working directory for the task
**cline instance list**
**\--config** *path* : Path to Cline configuration directory
**\--json** : Output messages as JSON instead of styled text. Forces plain text mode.
Configuration can be set globally. Override these global settings for a task using the **\--setting** flag
**-T**, **\--taskId** *id* : Resume an existing task by ID instead of starting a new one. The prompt becomes an optional follow-up message.
**cline config**
**\--continue** : Resume the most recent task from the current working directory instead of starting a new one.
**cline c**
# JSON OUTPUT FORMAT
**cline config set***key**value*
When using**\--json**, each message is output as a JSON object with these fields:
**cline c s***key**value*
**Required fields:**
: Set a configuration variable.
- **type**: "ask" or "say"
- **text**: message text
- **ts**: Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds
**cline config get***key*
**Optional fields:**
**cline c g***key*
- **reasoning**: reasoning text
- **say**: say subtype (when type is "say")
- **ask**: ask subtype (when type is "ask")
- **partial**: streaming flag
- **images**: list of image URIs
- **files**: list of file paths
: Read a configuration variable.
# EXAMPLES
**cline config list**
**cline c l**
: List all configuration variables and their values.
# TASK SETTINGS
Task settings are persisted in the *~/.cline/x/tasks* directory. When resuming a task with **cline task open**, task settings are automatically restored.
Common settings include:
**yolo**
: Enable autonomous mode (true/false)
**mode**
: Starting mode (act/plan)
# NOTES & EXAMPLES
The **cline task send** and **cline task new** commands support reading from stdin, enabling powerful pipeline compositions:
## Basic Usage
```bash
cat requirements.txt | cline task send
echo"Refactor this code"|cline -y
# Launch interactive mode
cline
# Run a task directly
cline "Create a hello world function in Python"
# Run with verbose output and extended thinking
cline -v --thinking "Analyze this codebase architecture"
```
## Instance Management
Manage multiple Cline instances:
## Mode Selection
```bash
# Start a new instance and make it default
cline instance new --default
# Run in plan mode (gather info before acting)
cline -p "Design a REST API for user management"
# List all running instances
cline instance list
# Run in act mode with auto-approval (yolo)
cline -y "Fix the typo in README.md"
```
# Kill a specific instance
cline instance kill localhost:50052
## Using Specific Models
# Kill all CLI instances
cline instance kill --all-cli
```bash
# Use a specific model
cline -m claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 "Refactor this function"
**CLINE_DIR** : Override the default configuration directory. When set, Cline stores all data in this directory instead of `~/.cline/data/`.
**CLINE_COMMAND_PERMISSIONS** : JSON configuration for restricting which shell commands Cline can execute. When set, commands are validated against allow/deny patternks before execution. When not set, all commands are allowed.
- **allow** (array of strings): Glob patterns for allowed commands. If specified, only matching commands are permitted. Uses `*` to match any characters and `?` to match a single character. Setting allow on anything will deny all others.
- **deny** (array of strings): Glob patterns for denied commands. Deny rules take precedence over allow rules.
- **allowRedirects** (boolean): Whether to allow shell redirects (`>`, `>>`, `<`, etc.). Defaults to false.
**Rule evaluation:**
1. Check for dangerous characters (backticks outside single quotes, unquoted newlines)
2. Parse command into segments split by operators (`&&`, `||`, `|`, `;`)
3. If redirects detected and `allowRedirects` is not true, command is denied
4. Each segment is validated against deny rules first, then allow rules
5. Subshell contents (`$(...)` and `(...)`) are recursively validated
6. All segments must pass for the command to be allowed
